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

Thanks Seán.

I tried setting up each of them as you described. Both of them are still refusing to have their SSID and passphrase changed. Now, I had them powered on together—in close proximity or far apart—but Tenda WiFi app still won't let me complete the setup.

Now that you mentioned it, I would like to set them to Bridge mode right from the start. However, there is no Bridge mode in the setup wizard. There are only PPPoE, DHCP, and Static IP address, in that order. I might need to find a very early version of Tenda WiFi app in order to bring that option back, just as what the 1-star review complained.

Does Bridge mode exist in the setup wizard of iOS Tenda WiFi app?
