Ms80 with wired satellite
I have the nighthawk wifi 6 with two satellites. I’d like to put one satellite at the other end of a wireless point to point network (ubiquit m5). Nothing I do can recognize the satellite AP. It’s hardwired to a switch on the other side of the point to point wireless. I can plug in other APs or other network devices and they work fine. Does the nighthawk Ethernet backhaul have to be directly connected to the nighthawk router? That’s seems really stupid.
Reason I say that is I've seen some of the green functions/managed functions cause issues with the orbi systems. It could be as well with many mesh systsems.
If its working without the point to point system, then I'd be checking some of the settings on the point to point system to see what could cause it. (maybe check with ubiquiti)
Or you might run into the same issue with whatever system you get.

I've seen people use point to point systems with orbi and it should work with the MK system.
If you directly connect it to the point to point system and not through the switch, does it work?
I have netgear PoE switches on each end providing the power. I guess one option would be to direct wire it to the router first, get it configured and then try to move it.
that'd be a good option to try.
I've never used that ubiquiti setup so I'm not sure if it has any dhcp capacity that could be causing conflicts.
