Active provider and requester chests

Hey guys. So basically in one place i have automated items, and i want to bring them to my new base, and make them available for the other robots, but i always get this loop: https://gyazo.com/107402ade9e5b216ccd21dd17ba3a079
It provides it to the requester chest, as soon as it gets to the provider chest for other robots, they take it back to the request chest and it makes a infinite loop. Any help, please?

For this to loop, both chests need to be in the same network, if they are in the same network why do you need the contraption in the first place?

So the items comes faster, because from the old base it takes over a minute to fly here. But i figured it out, i made it like this, and the networks are not the same now:

I thought there was another way, but whatever now.

Then I would simply use a buffer chest.

isnt that the point of the buffer chest. to be able to request items from somewhere and they are then available to the robots but dont get stuck in that endless provider requester loop.
