Network map
Original setup map had each satellite (2) connecting to primary. After rebooting map shows one satellite connected to primary and the second connected to the first satellite. Which is optimum?

Re: Network map
Up to you and how you have the satellites placed. If in a star arrangement, then Daisy chain needs to be disabled. If out iin a line from the RBR, Daisy Chain can be used letting the RBS piggy back on each other.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

If both satellites connect directly to the router, then one satellite is not acting as a "relay" for the other, and thus using more radio and processing time for the relay. On the other hand, if the signal strength from the router directly to the second satellite is very low, then the bandwidth to that satellite will be less. Can you please explain the sequence of "rebooting"? i.e. were all devices powered off and back on simultaneously? Or, was the router powered on first, and then the satellites?
