Future Consideration Daisy chain OneMesh WiFi extender
Hello all,
I have a OneMesh router with two OneMesh extenders set up in my home. The problem is that one of the extenders is too far from the main router and I need to daisy chain it with an extender that is placed midway. The setup works fine when I configure that extender in question, but works only for a while, then it decides to switch its main network back to the main router; the signal is very weak to maintain a good connection and hence I want it to stay connected to the extender in the middle. Is there a way to configure the extender to connect to that particular MAC address; the quick setup shows me both networks (they both have the same name) and I choose the correct signal (better signal and the right MAC address) but then defaults to the router's MAC after some time and looses the connection.
Main router → extender 1 → extender 2
instead of
main router → extender 1 & 2
I recognize that the speed might take a hit but its a sacrifice I am willing to take in favor of the signal strength and continuity. My broadband speed is low anyway so a slower lan speed won't be an issue.
please advise.

@Gabal007 its th emain reason i bought two extenders, only to find one is useless as it needs to be near the router. if i knew this was onyl a star network i wouldnt have bought it.

Just installed a Deco M4, 3 device mesh to discover that it is not a mesh because all 2 satellites conect to the main one, no daisy chain like a mesh is supposed ... very disappointing.
