SOLVED: ReadyNAS Backups of new Windows 11 PC
ReadyNAS 104 Firmware: 6.10.10 So when your old Windows 10 computer dies, you replace it with a new one which will now come, by default, with Windows 11, right? This is what happened to me. ...

Then reserving its WIFI IP address in the router will help.

I did that some years back. Even though I have at least one ethernet line running to each room, I still like the mesh.
My desktop PCs and ReadyNAS use ethernet, and I do use ethernet as the backhaul for the mesh. But laptops, phones, tablets, etc all are just on wifi.
If I had to choose whether I'd give up the mesh or give up the ethernet, I'd give up the ethernet first.
