Then main important point is that this switch connects to the LAN port of the primary node and that its WAN port (with the globe icon) connects to the Internet such as an ISP router, like below:
Hi guys, I'm trying to set up a MW12 mesh for a customer who has CAT5 sockets in several rooms.
I'm confused about a couple of things:
1) There seems to be a two ways to connect, one is showing the ethernet feed going to a LAN port on the mesh units, and the other shows it going to the WAN port - the latter seems more obvious to me, as it's the "upstream" port - as opposed to putting the load onto the WAN port and the feed on the LAN port. Does it even matter? Setup with the daisy chain method seems to suggest the feed should come to the WAN port - which will also provide two LAN ports for additional kit.
2) Do you have to initialise the mesh as wired to get it to do wired backhaul, if it's already meshed as wifi, do I need to reset and do it again?
