For the first time set up, connect the WAN port of one node to your ISP router and do not connect any Ethernet cable to the other two. Turn on the power to all three nodes. Go through the wizard process in the Tenda App. You can try them first without bridge mode, which is how the set up wizard configures them after it completes.
After you finish the set up wizard and all three nodes have a solid green light, you can then move the second and third nodes to where you would like them. Before you connect the Ethernet cable, switch off the power to all three nodes and run the Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the primary to the LAN port of the node you want to use wired backhaul. Turn on these two nodes and wait for the LEDs on them to go solid green. Go into the Tenda App, touch the secondary node and it should show a green <---> symbol on the Connection Quality line. Finally, turn on the third node and it should connect by wireless backhaul.
