"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...
NG is aware of the issue. NG does post information regarding updates or when the next FW will be available. I presume the fix should be in the very next release. So you'll have to wait for the next update.
For now, keep Daisy Chain enabled in the routers web page which for this version of FW, is actually Disabled.

I don't agree that Daisy Chain Enabled means it's Disabled in 2.2.1.210
In this release like in all other previous releases, you can see that you will get one hidden 5GHz network from each device (Router and all Satellites) when you enable Daisy Chain (to make it possible for satellites to connect to either the router or to each other which is the meaning of the Daisy Chain functionality)
On the other hand when Daisy Chain is Disabled, you will only see one hidden 5GHz network from the Router, so that Satellites will only connect to the Router in a start topography.
So the Daisy Chain functionality is still the same in this release. The fault is something else that causes strange behaviour when Daisy Chain is disabled and that's why it should be avoided in this release.
Anything is possible, however users are expressing that the behavior is corrected for there problem when Daisy Chain is Enabled in the UI in this version. Will have to see what happens with the next FW update.
Good Luck.
