RBR350 not a real mesh?

Hello rk_gearorbi ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that your satellite does not connect to your Orbi router. This issue can be caused by having a different firmware installed on your router. The current firmware for your RBS350 is version 7.2.6.31.
Please update your satellite to this firmware to resolve this issue!
Navigate to the link below for the download file for your RBS350:

I have the same issue. I've been using the setup for two years now and lately it doesn't daisy chain anymore.
Distance between Base and 1st satellite is 8 meters, between 1st sat and 2nd sat is about 12m
Still the 2nd satellite connects to the base though it's about 20 meters away. But backhaul on 2.4
I did a reset earlier to reconnect all units but it does not daisy chain in any way.
What happens if you turn down the power on the RBR from 100% to say 50%?

Not tried that but that's not how the mesh should work. So basically it's a poorly implemented product. Very disappointed with the mesh / daisy chaining implementation of Netgear.
Same issue. The far end satellite looses connection all the time now.
And some of the devices that were connected to the base are now not within range anymore. So it's getting worse.
I will try again starting from scratch. I did work earlier so it should do it again.
