Q1: Could I setup wired connection between AiMesh routers and nodes (Ethernet backhaul)?

A: Yes. AiMesh system supports both wireless and wired connection between an AiMesh router and node to maximize throughput and stability. AiMesh analyzes the wireless signal strength for each frequency band available, and then determines automatically whether a wireless or wired connection is best to serve as the inter-router connection backbone.

1 Follow the setup steps to establish a connection between the AiMesh router and RP-AX56 via WiFi first.
2 Place the RP-AX56 in an ideal location for the best coverage. Run an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the AiMesh router to the Ethernet backhaul port of RP-AX56.
