RBK50 Daisy-Chaining and Intermittant drop-outs
I have one RBR50 in AP mode with a wireless connection to one RBS50 with the Daisy-Chain option unchecked. Intermittantly I get momentary drop-outs on a Pixel3 phone and an old LG tablet (both not mo...

I am not seeing what you describe. This is a very lightly-loaded network with only one RBS50 satellite. I have configured the 2.4GHz band to channels 11+7 and the 5GHz to channel 48.

JoeM845, this is what I mean. This is what I see in my network when Daisy Chain is enabled (this is from the built-in wifi scanner in my Macbook):
Once I disable backhaul only the Router Backhaul will be visible while the satellite backhaul networks will disappear. This is a proof that the Daisy Chain setting (on or off) is working correctly and not reversed.

Activation and deactivation is working fine. You can see this by activating Daisy Chain and seeing the hidden networks from the Satellites using a wifi scan. This disappears immediately when you deactivate Daisy Chain. Satellites will never be able to connect to other satellites without seeing a backhaul radio network, so it's impossible that the Daisy Chain setting is reversed! ;)
The only issue in 2.2.1.210 that I noticed is that deactivating Daisy Chain in some cases affect the performance of Orbi.

I cannot discern a change in the hidden network behavior that corresponds to a change in the daisy-chain setting. In both cases Backhaul status on the "Attached devices" page shows "Good" and 5G. In both cases WiFi Analyzer (Android) shows the backhaul signals intermittantly on, but mostly off for minutes at time. A 2.4GHz ( channels 11+7) signal comes up. A little later a 5GHz (channel 157) signal comes up. Then they both drop. The 2.4GHz signal comes up alone also. The 5GHz signal comes up by itself sometimes, but less often.
Thanks for your time. I have tried to click on the Kudo button, but do not get any response.
