"Reverse" Daisy Chain issue - any update?
Hi,
Having read a lot through this forum about an issue with daisy chain on 2.2.1.210 where the functionality is "reversed" - checked for non daisy chain and unchecked for daisy chain, I wonder...

Adding my voice to this again. After initial download of 2.2.1.210 and discovering this issue, I downloaded it again to no change in this situation. With daisy chain off as default I would think that fixing this issue would be a priority with Netgear considering the effect this may have on new purchases. The installed base is extremely important, but if one's first experience with Orbi is all the negative symptoms coming from poor wireless backhaul, I would guess that anyone who bought a system with more than one satelite would be extremely disappointed. Allowing Daisy Chain on to choose the best topography is fine, and my system chooses a star topography with Daisy Chain enabled. However Daisy Chain off is a mess of poor backhaul and erratic and dropped satelite connection (though the stated topography is still star), which I presume could be a new user's experience once the purchase updated the firmware. It would be nice to get some word on this.
