How to set up Tenda Nova mesh for wired backhaul - MW5, MW6, etc.

Sorry to sign up and resurface an old thread, however this is pretty much at the top of Google results and hoping I might be able to help people with the same issue as myself.

I followed the steps above, but was having the same issue as another poster, then when connected via backhaul, the wifi speeds were pretty much halving, if not worse! I've spend a good few days trying to sort this out, until I found another thread elsewhere burried deed on the net!

So my set up as follows:

Virgin Meda superhub >> Lounge MW6 in bridge mode connected via the 'Globe Icon' >> Connected to a switch via LAN Port.

Switch >> Garage MW5
          >> Kitchen MW5

Hallway MW3 (Wireless)
Dining Room MW3 (Wireless)
Bedroom MW5 (Wireless)

I've edited Seans pic to show what I did that worked for me.



I was connecting them originally via the WAN/LAN port on the MW5's. This was cauing me a nightmare with speeds.

However I then went and connected the Garage MW5 and Kitchen MW5 into the LAN port instead. The difference was night and day! Great speeds everywhere and they both show as being wired connections.

Hopefully this might help someone and save them a few days of fault hunting!

Hello! Did you check if you can connect a device like smart tv or laptop to the “globo” plug on a secondary mwx connected via cable to the plug? Why you selected? Bridge mode? Thank you
