Orbi Satellite connect to another Satellite? Daisy Chain
I know Orbi Satellite cannot connect to another Satellite but router, however, isn't that you need to be able to do the daisy chain ( Mesh topology) to claim as the mesh system? Can anyone answer my question?
The Orbi system isn't a mesh system. It is a star topology system at this point. Because it isn't mesh every satellite must connect back through the router and cannot daisy chain to other satellites for increased reach.
Yes that's what I thought so. Reason why I'm asking was because Orbi market itself as the mesh wifi system which is kind of misleading, so I thought they have different implementation but looks like they don't.
Be aware that the different Routers and Satellites have separate Firmware files. Do you have the RBK50 system? This means you would have the RBR and RBS 50 firmwares. Ensure you are using the correct files. Thanks!
Yes, that was my problem - I did not notice the single letter difference in the middle of the long filename. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make them more obvious? Especially as they are bothe exactly the same size.

I updated my Orbi system to 0.74 and it seems to be working fine. I noticed that the satellite no longer shows up on the network map. Is that because it is now daisy chaining or due to something else? The sat is synced. Thanks.
