Based on the behavior I'm seeing. It does something frustrating.
It seems if you "Join a Home Wifi System", which I assume to mean joining the mesh network, then it does so using wireless connectivity ONLY, even if you have the unit hard-wired. So if you have a hardwire to say the upstairs that has bad WiFi, it's providing internet via the bad WiFi, ignoring the hardwire you put in.
No matter what I've tried, it will always tell me that the interface for the 2nd unit is Wireless while the 1st unit that's hardwired to the cable modem says its interface is Wired.
Ashok or staff... please tell me I'm wrong. but I can show you that the 2nd unit always shows its interface as wireless when in slave mode.
So it looks like the only way I can use wired for good solid connections to the Almond3's so they have good internet for their WiFi coverage is to set them up as access points, in which case, why did I get these again?
P.S.
Doubt this is related to this, but there is a bug in the software that won't properly update the link status of any hardwire. So if you, say had a cable in the WAN port and pulled it out, it'll still show plugged in on the status screen. You can plug it in somewhere else and sometimes it updates, sometimes not.
