FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQ1 Could I set up a wired connection between AiMesh routers and nodes (Ethernet backhaul)?A: Yes. The AiMesh system supports both wireless and wired connections between an AiMesh router and node to maximize throughput and stability. AiMesh analyzes the wireless signal strength for each frequency band available and then determines automatically whether a wireless or wired connection is best to serve as the inter-router connection backbone.
