Satellite insists in connecting to router instead of wired satellite
I have the following situation: The router is on the 1st floor. The Living and Dining satellites are on the ground level, so one floor lower. I have trouble having a decent backhaul when...
When I have satellite Living as wireless it daisy chains. But when I improve the connection to Living using a cable it stops daisy chaining. So what I mean is, is that a bug? I cannot imagine it being a feature.
Not sure how it negotiates which it connects to as netgear doesn't advertise that.
If you turn the broadcast power down to 75%, does it impact which it connects to? Maybe you have them to close together.
The satellites are ~12 meters apart in a clear line of sight...Closer is impractical. Concerning lowering the power: it seems there is one global setting for that. That seems like something I wouldn't want, since the range of the wifi is one of the reasons I'm trying to get this to work... (there are devices connected to both satellites, among others Ring cameras outside).
