Not sure if anyone else is experiencing weird things when it comes to daisy chain, but my satellites are connecting to weaker satellites further away and not connecting to the closer one. If I revert back to previous voxel firmware, daisy chain works properly and satellites connect to the closer ones.

Sorry I have not used daisy chain for years because before I started using VOXEL I had the same issues with stock Orbi firmware.
