Even if you power OFF this one RBS for 30 seconds then back ON? It should connect to the nearest RBS, not the RBR. You might try rebooting the RBR while leaving the RBS on to see if they connect in daisy chain.

Possible that the distance and building materials where this RBS is will be a factor on it's status and you might not get a "Good" status for the back haul. Again concrete and steel is not good for wifi signals.

I moved the Kitchen sat closer to the main and was able to get good. Back of house sat still is connected to Main router even with "Enable Daisy-Chain Topology"
checked on so not sure why the Back Sat will only connect to the Main router which is at least twice as far as the Kitchen Sat. Not sure if that Daisy-Chain setting really does anything at all.

Be sure to do a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
