Using 3 mesh as differs routers not points

Idomeir — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 05:58:24 GMT

I have installed the Wi-Fi pro as 1 router and 2 points. There are connectivity coverage issue in my house. Can I convert the 2 points (now in mesh) as independent routers (new Wi-Fi network)? I have lan ports in my house and I wish to connect each to the port and form a new Wi-Fi network? If yes what should I do . Thanks

Yoy don't have to convert them to routers/ separate networks, they can work together when wired by ethernet too. This is known as wired backhaul.

If you connect them up correctly, they should change it's backhaul over to wired wirhout you having to do anything.

Example diagram on how to wire it up:
