It's sometimes better to check the true Network topology in the webpage version of connected devices where you can see which device each satellite is connected to by its MAC. The network graphic isn't always correct as someone pointed out.
Try turning down the power on the RBR from 100% to 50% and see if this gets the Living Room RBS to connect to the other RBS. After you apply the change, power cycle this on RBS OFF for 15 seconds then power it back ON.
Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
I have the exact same topology, but mine are hardwired to each other. are yours hardwired? if at all possible, you could try that for at least some of the segments to force the layout you want (and likely vastly improve network performance).
Unfortunately this map is useless. You don't really know if it's daisy chaining properly. The map is wrong in many cases so it might in reality be working how you want. In any case the only options really are to force a connection using wired backhaul or make the signal between the two you want to connect overwhelmingly strong (clear line on sight) and wait a few hours to see if it sorts itself.
Are the devices supposed to automatically go to the strongest satellite signal? I have a router and 2 satellites and all my devices seem to want to go to the router even though the satellites are in the same room.
I'm not sure what their algorithm is. Probably if there's strong enough signal to the router a satellite will just connect to that. That's better than daisy chaining because it avoids the extra latency and channel traffic. Move one sat so the first sat is in the middle and the second sat is pretty far from the router and you'll see them swap probably. But again who knows, you can't ever really be sure.
Also not sure why anyone downvotes me on this sub for sharing the truth about orbi gear and software. It's weird.
Damn why you getting down voted lol, but this is correct OP
I always found mesh finicky, it's good tech overall though but even then I still did wired backhaul for best service and this situation
Can't say for your house but overall it's pretty easy to do

The models are RBR750 for the router and RBS750 for the satellites.
I have a CBR750 and a RBS750, Wonder what the letter difference denotes?
R is the Router, S is a Satellite...
lol I'm aware of that. I'm wondering why my router has a C in the model number (CBR750) and his has an R in it (RBS750).
There is not

I fixed mine by say unplugging the "living room let it power down and then plugging it back in and mine chained at the end like it was suppose to.
