Unfortunately, that configuration will not work as that is the issue I pointed out in my first post. The secondary nodes need to link back to the LAN port of the Primary node.
If you are unable to place the Primary node between the ISP router and the switch, you can try the following similar wiring method with the Tenda configured in bridge mode. In bridge mode, the primary node does not need its WAN socket connected. The secondary nodes pass connectivity from the LAN to the WAN port, so the attached devices will connect:
When you first get the nodes, connect the primary node to the ISP router via the WAN socket and place the secondary nodes nearby with just the power leads attached. Don't connect anything to the network sockets of the secondary nodes. Use the Tenda App to configure the nodes in Bridge mode and ensure the firmware is up to date. Once they are configured and all the nodes show a green LED, disconnect all the nodes, then place and wire them as above.
