Rbk753s want satellites to connect to router only
Currently have the satellites connecting o each other (daisy chain) but i want them to connect to router only. Currently have wifi 6 RBR750 and 3 satellites (RBS750) thst keep connecting to each other. When they do i have a significant loss in speed. These new version don't have the Daisy Chain enable option. Any advice on how to make the satellites connect always to the router?

Re: Rbk753s want satellites to connect to router only
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
I
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Placement is key here since Daisy Chain is Automatic. So you'll want to be sure to place the RBS out in a Star or Spoke formation out from the RBR, not out in a line from from the RBR.

What mode is the Arris modem working in? This has a built in router I beleive. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
