Feature request: Disable Wireless Backhaul when wired
I'd like to request a feature that disable the wireless backhaul when the satelites are wired into the router. I have a lot of wifi congestion and having trouble getting reasonable coverage on some ...

One other reason that wifi backhaul cant' be disabled is that if something happens to the ethernet connection to the RBS, the RBS will fall back on wireless backhaul connection to maintain operation. The wireless backhaul is one 5Ghz and won't effect anything on 2.4Ghz.

Thanks for the response. While the August lock seems to work fine, i'm replacing the batteries for it every other month. I read the batteries won't last very long if the wifi signal isn't strong enough as the lock tries to re-join the wifi repeatedly. So I was thinking of ways to increase the speed.

Would need to get a signal sourse close to this device or move the device closer to a signal source. Try moving a RBS closer to the device?
What is the distance between the device and the RBS or RBR?
