RBR850 and RBS850 Daisy Chain where is the option?
Hi Community,
I have 1 x RBR850 and 4 x RBS850
The RBR850 is on 1 far side of the house attached to my ISP's Router Modem(wifi disabled) and the RBS850 are at longer and longer distances from the RBR850. The furthest RBS850 form the RBR850 is around 12m away on the same floor.
I was looking for an option to Daisy Chain having read online this was possible. But when i logged in to look at the Wifi Settings there is nothing there to check/uncheck.
The RBR850 is in AP mode (if that makes a difference)
The reason the RBR850 is in AP mode is because of the issues apparently encountered with ZIGGO (ISP) and their compatibility with ORBI.
Can anyone offer advice as to why i dont see the Daisy Chain option in WiFi settings?
ANd that is precose;y what I have done and the result is as I describe. đ

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Hi there,
So I presume therefore that there is no need to choose between the 2 different choices (as detailed elsewhere)
The new AX Orbi systems automatically choose which is appropriate for the set up in your location?
It would be good to be able to see from the backend orbilogin what was currently being used, regardless I think.

Based on placement, distance and how you turn ON the RBS, yes.
