Force Daisy Chain on a AX4200 RBS750 satellite
Hi experts,
I have a setup with 1 AX4200 RBR 750 router and 2 RBS 750 satellites.
Firmware version: V4.6.5.14_2.0.54
1 satellite is connected with a wired backhaul to the router, the second one is a wireless backhaul (located in the shed further away from the router then the wired satellite).
Recently the wireless one always connects to the router in 2.4Ghz and with a weak connection.
In the past it was always wirless connected to the wired satelite in 5Ghz and a good connection.
My question is since i'm on V4.6.5.14_2.0.54 can we force daisy chaining as I see on older frimware version (screenshots) where you can checkbox this option.
I'm recently also encountering connection drops on my devices connected on the satellites.
Kind regards
Jérémy

What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Then power OFF the wireless RBS for 1 minute then back ON, it should connect to the other RBS...
Orbi AX systems never had Daisy Chain options in the FW UI.
Thanks Furry,
I already did al those steps based on posts I found in this community, non of them helped.
Is there no other magic trick? Or do we just wait for another FW release where they will fix those bugs (It worked perfectly in the past)
Kind regards
