OrbiOS MR 2.1 issues
I wanted to reach out to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1 software. We believe that these issues are affecting some users. Rest assured that we've been following this issue and working hard beh...
It would help if the support team would address and give instructions for daisy chaining satellites. I know the firmware update allows this, but I don't see it anywhere. Every issue I see regarding satellites is that they should be positioned close to the router; thus not benefitting from purchasing additional satellites if they can't be close to the router... If my router sees my added satellite, and links to it without daisy chaining then I'll get a weaker signal than if it was linking to the sattletite that is actually closer. I want daisy connection, not star.
Nothing, I have Daisy chain running on my second Sat. Connect Sat to Router and put it where you want it to be. I'll connect automatically to your other Sat.

If I am still at 2.0.0.56, I suppose daisy chain function would not be available? This is what I really need as my iMac is located in the study room many walls from the router. It needs another satellite to bridge the cover.

Are you sure it requires a chain to cover? In my experience the range is pretty large for these, especially if your hub is centrally located.
In any case the daisy chain feature is the main problem with 2.1 but I have mine spread out and have no issues using the regular hub/spoke topology.
