Can you post a screen capture of your network map?

I have posted a picture of what the Orbi iOS Network Map shows. As you will see, since the Orbi app can only display the main router and a maximum of three satellites, the fourth Orbi satellite only appears on the iOS network map when you click on the "Tap here to see additional satellites" button. When I click that button, it shows the information below:
Orbi Router
- RBR50
Orbi (Indoor) Satellites (RBS50)
-InSat 1
-InSat 2
Orbi (Outdoor) Satellites (RBS50Y)
- OutSat 1
- OutSat 2
My slowest wifi device (a RingPro 2 camera) connects to my OutSat1 device at only 4MBPS (per the Orbi iOS app). The speed of the RingPro 2 camera does not display in the browser-based Orbi web page. All satellites show Good backhaul statuses. The OutSat 2 device is connected to one of my indoor RBS50 Orbi satellites via a daisy-chain connection. Implicit Beamforming, MU-MIMO, and Fast-Roaming are enabled.

This is a great datapoint to know, I had no idea it was limited to three. Thanks for that -- exactly what I was wondering and how it rendered the daisychain piece. +1!
