Number of Daisy Chain satellites
With the new firmware update that enables satellites to dish chain. How many satellites are supported in a daisy chain on the RBK50 system.
Also is it possible to convert a router to a satellite if I purchase 2x Orbi 2-pack and want to end up with 1 router and 3 satellites?
Thanks!

Re: Number of Daisy Chain satellites
It is not possible to run a router as an additional satallite - also let me warn you against running two orbi routers with 4 satellites on the same network - very bad idea that is.
I've seen someone from netgear say that you can easily run 3 satellites, not sure if more are supported but probably just slows the system down. Question is why would you need more? I have a 4500 sqft 3 story house and the RBK50 with two satellites has no problem covering the entire area and easily into my neighbors house across the yard.

It's for long hallways and where there's much concrete.
