How to set up Tenda Nova mesh for wired backhaul - MW5, MW6, etc.
#71
From the info I could find, the MW6 supports up to 10 nodes in a single mesh and Tenda recommends no more than 6 for stability. With 15 nodes in the above network, you will need to configure them in multiple groups with each wired main node configured in DHCP mode. When doing this I suggest just powering on one set of nodes at a time and ensuring they are working fine before setting up the next group. The main side effect is that devices will not seamlessly roam between nodes from one group to another, so walking from one area to another will likely interrupt video calls and live streaming. Another option would be to try reducing the number of nodes to 10 so you are within the 10 node limit and configure them as a single group, e.g. try taking out 5 of the nodes if possible to get within the 10 node single mesh limit.

As that appears to be a very large property or area to require such a large number of nodes, you may be much better off with something like Ubiquiti UniFi or MikroTik cAP access points that are designed to handle a large number of nodes on a single mesh network, such as for guest Wi-Fi at venues, hotels, etc.
