One question , Does this firmware uses LAN interface for wired backhaul? or when you activate the child node mode it converts LAN 1 port to WAN port? I have confirmed that using LAN to LAN connection to set up aimesh works, however, “client list” information is wrong all the time. Anybody tested this yet?

As the routers utilise WPS or Ethernet to pair, please ensure WPS is connected and both routers are in sight of each other or via Ethernet cabling (LAN from CAP (Main)  to WAN (LAN1) on RE (Node) for optimal pairing result.

Note: old details above I have had from ASUS, so English a little wonky, sometimes pairing can take several attempts (not tried it via Ethernet but my DSL-AC68U is Wifi child/node to my RT-AC86U Primary/Main)
