Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version:

Hi I have connected two additional deco 5s to my main unit which is connected to my router via LAN and

configured in AP mode.

On the Deco Ap they show as both being connected via wifi to the main unit. I thought that the 3rd deco would dsisychain from deco 2

 

Bedroom >>>>>>Main Deco<<<<<<<<Hall     is what's showing

 

Tutorials generally show

 

Main Deco>>>>>>>>>Deco>>>>>>>>>>Deco   etc.

 

Have I set mine up wrong?

@Rickyboy No, you didn't set them wrong.

 

Satellite Decos always connect to the main deco

Just a M4 (2-pack) user who regrets buying it

  @ImtiazAli is correct, but with Deco M5 you can override this and can configure daisy chain connection. See Part 1 of the following document: How to select a preferred signal source on the Deco App

Is there any advantage in daisychaining?

You can try both, and whichever deliver best WiFi speed for device connected wirelessly to the furthest Deco is the one to keep.
