I've been running it most the day now, and it seems more stable than the 1.12 version. I will reserve judgement until I have more experience with roaming devices.
Does anyone know if the setting for daisychain is "use it if Orbi thinks it needs it", or is it "use it no matter what"? In other words, I have my Router on the main floor center of house, Sat1 on Upper floor east end of house, and Sat2 in basement on west end of house. So, a star config is best for me I assume... so if the daisychain setting is on, will Orbi always try to arrange as Orbi-SatX-SatY? Or will it be smart about it?
How can you tell what the topology is? On the Attached Devices page, if it was doing daisychain, would the Connected Orbi of one of the satellites be another satellite? Mine are both showing the router, so I guess it is using star topology?

yep I think in the attached devices it would show one satellite connected to another. So looks like it is "smart" about deciding which way to go. Not sure why they have ? temporarily pulled the firmware down?
