“Daisy chaining” is a networking term that describes one way that network devices can connect. Orbi WiFi Systems and Nighthawk Mesh Systems support both daisy chain and star network layout. In a daisy chain network, your satellites can connect to the router through other satellites. The following image shows a daisy chained Orbi system:

A star network, on the other hand, is when your satellites connect directly to your router. The following image shows an Orbi system that uses star networking:
