I have Ethernet cables run from my office to the den (near the center of the first floor) and also to the living room (opposite end from the office on the first floor). Since I plan to use wired backhaul, I need to upgrade the firmware to 2.1.x.x... which seems to be part of the issue with recent posters.
And I’ll be in star topology too, not daisy chain, if that matters.
Hard to know how you will fare. Biggest problems have been incorrect reporting of attached devices. My daisy chain ap system works fine but with that with that error.
Clearly Netgear needs to do better beta testing before releasing its firmware updates. Perhaps the people who report problems here would be good candidates for testing.
forcing updates not a great idea.
