Daisy Chaining on RB350?

Hi all,

 

I have an Orbi Router on the ground floor and satellites on the the first and second floors. Internet coverage is  good, however the second floor device regularly loses connection to the ground floor router.

 

How do I (is it possible?) to change to from a star network to daisy chaining the second floor to the first.

 

Any help / advice appreciated.

If you place the RBS out in a line from the RBR, when the RBR is ON, and RBS are already turned OFF, turn on the closest RBS to the RBR first and let it sync. After it syncs, turn on the farther RBS from the RBR and let it sync, it should connect and sync to the other RBS thats closer to the RBR.

Didn't work in afraid, the problem seems to be the connection to the router is weak, so it often switches between the two.
Is there a way to force one or the other?

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.

 

Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
