Orbi 970 formations What's the reason for both formations ? What's the difference ?
Ok I hear that but my system fluctuate the two daily what's the reason for that ? and im hard wired. When its wireless its in the triangle formation. When its hard wired its now fluctuating in the daisy chain.
How is the RBS ethernet connected to the RBR?
There any LAN switches or patch panels or in wall ethernet wall jacks in place?
The following link is how best to connect RBS to the RBR:

The first and 3rd images show how they are connected that will configure Star formation. The 2nd image would show a Daisy Chain formation.
Ok I think im using the daisy chain method but some days I look at it and its in the triangle formation like now its in the triangle formation so its switching on its own, is there any draw back to the methods or formation?
Would need more details on how the RBS are connected. There maybe something in between the RBR and RBS that maybe causing problems or this change in formation seen in Orbi app. If star RBS are ethernet connected and all directly connected to the RBR, should be stable Star formation all the time and should not fluctuate.
I have nothing connected in-between. And right now it's back to daisy chain. So for example if the internet is powered off it starts up back in the star position, Then after awhile it goes back to daisy chain. So just looking at it now it was in the star position, after our second convo it went back to daisy chain so im not sure what's going on.
