RBR 750 Daisy Chain

I was just told that my RBR 750 and ALL Orbi wifi 6 mesh systems do NOT support a Daisy chain topology. There is no way for me to enable this feature when logging into the router. Does anyone have any current info on this topic? I have updated to current firmware V4.6.5.14_2.0.54, do NOT have the armor security. Router on second story, satellites on first story.


Thank you!

    Its just not something that's user controlled. Its auto-negotiated by the orbi based on whats better performing

      I don't think its making a very good choice, so no way to configure it then?

        Its not user changeable. 

        But you can try changing distances between router/satellites. That can sometimes impact how it negotiates it.

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
