Renaming RBS 20 satellite

[tgarvey]

I recently installed an RBK 44 system.  I've been able to rename the RBR 40 router, but when I do the same process on the RBS 20 satellites the new name appears in the Network Map for a few seconds and then reverts to the old name, i.e, "Orbi Satellite-1."  I'm on V2.1.4.16.  Any suggestions?

Are you renaming them from the attached devices page or are you logging into each satellite and renaming them?

Sorry, but I don't see any content in your response.  Anything you can offer would be appreciated.

I was trying to do it using the iOS app, going to the Network Map and then clicking on each satellite.  Based on your question I logged in to orbilogin.com and succeeded.  Thank you!   

Now, not to be greedy, but I have another question:  One on my three satellites is connected to the router via another satellite rather than directly, even though the two satellies are about equadistant from the router.  Is there a way to force a satellite to connect directly to the router and, if so, would it be wise to do so?

Thanks,

Tom

If you disable daisy chaining it will force the satellites to connect to the router.
