Hi  @Cotchet 

Thanks for posting here.

Generally, when an EAP detects both a wired connection and the wireless signals from other EAPs simultaneously, it will prioritize wired bridging. Therefore, enabling mesh does not affect wired bridging within the network. On the contrary, if an EAP’s network cable is damaged or accidentally disconnected, wireless bridging can serve as a backup solution.

I am currently setting up a second site containing only the bridges, but this causes the map to be distorted on the main site because the bridges are missing.

>>>Could you please let us know how the map is distorted? Please let us know more details about the sitaution.

Hi  @Cotchet 

Thanks for your tips. We will pay attention to this kind of feedback.

Disconnecting the mesh in a congested environment helps minimize unnecessary traffic as much as possible.

>>When the EAP is connected via Ethernet, it does not transmit signals through the mesh and therefore does not consume any traffic. Hence, network congestion is unrelated to the mesh feature. The EAP only attempts to use the mesh when it goes offline and cannot detect the Ethernet connection.
