1. the RBS have their own internal algorithm that determines which to connect to. Because going through a satellite might add latency and slow a satellite down a little bit, even though its further, the RBS might be connecting to the RBR. I don't know what their internal algorithm is. I just know sometimes they connect it unexpected ways
2. you can daisy chain the satellites how you pictured.

Hi plemans,
Thank you for your quick reply.
Are you saying that we CAN expect issues where RBS #2 only connects wirelessly to RBS #1?
Our testing last night was working, suddenly stopped for a while, then re-connected.
