Hi all, this is a super thread for discussing this subject. It has helped me with some success but I am still struggling.
I am running 3 x MW12 devices connected to my Fritz Router.
I have the Fritz router providing internet to MW12-1 and MW12-1 providing a link to a gigabit switch.
MW12-1 connects to MW12-2 via both Ethernet (via switch on WAN) and WiFi - Although it is not clear how to understand what connection type is active at any point. I understand the symbol <--> is reflective of Ethernet, which is shown on MW12-2 in MyTenda App.
During first setup I connect only MW12-1 to Power with Router and Switch Ethernet in place.
I then powerup MW12-2 and MW12-3 in the same room. Green light sync verfiied.
I then place MW12-2 in bedroom, hook LAN (On WAN Port) and power on.
Speed test validates 650mb/s = Gigabit communication via Switch to MW12-1 and Router. Success!
However, at some point it appears to revert to WiFi backhaul. This is noted as speed tests results show 13ms ping and 650mb/s at first power on vs 21 ms and 100mb/s some time later. When it is switching back I do not know and not sure how I force it back to Ethernet, or if that is possible?
I'll also note that I connected Switch to WAN/internet on M12-2. I attempted the LAN1 connect but I was never able to produce the same performance as WAN, it was indicative that it was reverting to WiFi backhaul with the 100mb/s performance.
Stumped...
