WAX620 Mesh Question
I have two WAX620's and want to set them up as mesh and both will be ethernet wired. Will they backhaul over ethernet as default, or how do I set that up.

With just wired WAX6xx you don't set-up any mesh* config. Just two or more WAX6xx (or WAC5xx) on the same wired network, no mesh.
*A designation massively abused in the consumer "Mesh" network devices.

Aaaaahhh, I was wondering about that: I just set up three (3) WAX630E's and initially configured them in a "mesh". After many errors, devices loosing connection about every 5-10 minutes, and slowness in performance, I deleted the mesh and simply added them back without configuring mesh. Seems to work fine.
So, that being the case, what does configuring them as "mesh" accomplish?
To be honest, I have not read the manual and figured I could do it all without doing so. So, if a simple "RTFM" is in order, just let me know. haha
TIA
