You can set up a Mesh link if that's what you're asking, but we only support up to 4 connections in a Mesh chain. This is mostly because in a perfect lab environment, every Mesh connection cuts your connection speed in half. If you add in other factors that are unavoidable in non-lab conditions (RF interference, line of sight blocks, changes in atmospheric conditions, etc.), it makes setting up a Mesh chain a bit more complicated, so up to 4 connections is really as far as you want to go with one Mesh chain.

If you meant something else by daisy chain, could you please expand a bit more on what you're looking for?

So long as the ETH1 ports are set to bridge-access and ETH0 is set to backhaul, and we're only one VLAN (if you're using multiple VLANs ETH1 needs to be 802.1Q instead of bridge access to host the multiple VLANs), you should be able to do this. This is not Mesh, my apologies for the confusion.
