How to set up Tenda Nova mesh for wired backhaul - MW5, MW6, etc.
#45
The diagram you've drawn should work with the Tenda MW6.  However, I am not sure if the Tenda MW3 supports wired backhaul.

If you don't have the network switch yet, you can try connecting an Ethernet port from the LAN port of the primary directly to the LAN port of one of the secondary nodes temporarily, then turn off/on the power to that secondary node.  Then go into the Tenda App and check if there is a <--> indicator to the right of the Connection Quality field:

   

If this icon is there, it supports wired backhaul.  In this case, connect each the LAN port of Node 2 and Node 3 to the switch (via the wall port / Powerline).  Connect the TV to the WAN/LAN port of Node 2.  For the Primary Node, connect the WAN/LAN port to the Sky nub and the LAN port to the switch. 

If that <--> icon does not appear, you can either try exchanging them for the MW6's (if within the return period) or add a fourth MW3 node midway in-between the Office and the Bedroom.  A fourth node here might work better than using a pair of Powerline adapters as I've had poor past experience with the stability of Powerline adapters, even just linking a desktop PC directly to a router.
