2.15  Enable or Disable Daisy Chain Network Topology

You can “daisy chain” multiple Multy Devices together to create expansive WiFi coverage for your 
home.

When daisy chaining is enabled, each Multy Device chooses its own way of connecting to the primary 
Multy Device - either by connecting directly, or by going through another Multy Device with a strong 
WiFi signal. 

When Multy Devices are daisy-chained, they don’t all need to be placed near the primary Multy 
Device, which means you can extend your coverage.  

Daisy Chain Disabled

Daisy Chain Enabled
