I think I'll stick to the setup from 2 posts ago then, thank you Sean!
Really pleased to have found this thread! Hoping someone might be able to help to resolve an issue I have. I’ve had 3 MW6’s for a while but recently built a garden room and purchased a 4th MW6 to extend the wifi. I also have CAT6 back to the house.
The MW6 in the garden room can connect to the mesh ok but only talks directly to one of the three in the house due to distance, walls etc.
I have been trying to setup wired backhaul between the primary MW6 and the garden room MW6 pretty much as described here however every time I try it, the wifi in the house goes from 30meg down to 1meg!! I have to disconnect and rely on the wireless connection to extend the wifi to the garden.
I cannot fathom what is going on with it. The primary is connected to the router via the port with the blue globe on it, then I run the cable that runs to the garden room from the <....> port to the MW6 in the garden. The garden MW6 then appears in the app with the <....> next to it indicating it’s connected via a wired connection.
My router controls DHCP for my network so there are no issues with multiple
subnets etc
Any ideas out there please guys and girls? I’d be so grateful for any advise!
