No Ability to Daisy Chain AX6000 (two satellites)
Just bought the 3 pack (1 AX6000 router and 2 satellites), and as far as I can tell there is NO ability to enable daisy chain topology. Here is the old (original orbi) settings for adanced wirele...
Disconnecting and turning on sequentially did not work.
Sat 1 is about 50 feet from router (router is in living room and sat 1 is down the hallway in an office).
Sat 2 is in a she-shed/cabana that is an additional 60 feet from sat 1 (so the distance traverses through the stucco wall of the main house) or about 110 feet from the router (as I mentioned it’s a strict linear distance).
The logic it’s using to connect at 2.4Ghz to the main router for sat 2 is faulty. The link connection is worse than the prior old Orbi as evidenced by my speed tests being half of what they were sitting beside sat 2.
I get Netgear trying to idiotproof the settings and have it dictate how it best thinks it should connect — but the logic is just plain wrong on their AX6000 Orbi unit for a second sat. There needs to be a satellite Advanced config page to manually set how it’s connected (I.e. daisy chain to first sat) and at what frequency.

What happens if you try to swap RBS positions?
