Thanks for posting more information. This is something NG support can use to pass on to engineering to look into.

A bit more on the daisy chain issue. It is not exactly a reverse order experience. With daisy chain OFF, I get poor backhaul but the connetions are not in a daisy chain topology, but in the star topology (hub and spolke). With daisy chain ON, I get good backhaul but the system is also operating (it says) in the star topology.

With daisy chain off, satelites keep dropping in and out ... you can watch the graphed signal strength like an animated whack-a-mole. With daisy chain on (but still in star topology) the satelites stay relatively steady in signal strength. Also strange is when I resync the satelites with daisy chain off, the system initially shows backhaul is good for a few minutes, but then shifts to poor.

5GHz backhaul is at Ch 157 in both cases on my setup.

I am also getting the irritating icon flash on Attached Devices exactly every three seconds. which was not present before the update.

Well I'll be, I enabled daisy chain and behold my devices are correctly showing which ones they are connected too. What an odd update. I still have the issue of the sattelites going magenta before going blue upon reboot but this time I think it was faster. Well lets see how my rbk23 will be today.

    Good to hear. Ya, NG is looking into the behavior. I believe PINK will be seen before BLUE. As long as your getting BLUE then OFF, you should be good. Let it run for a while and see how it does.
