How to force a node to use PLC rather than wifi.
Since the most recent firmeware update they always use wifi even when there is a very weak signal.

I have emailed both the Italy and UK TS emails.
Waiting for a reply.

@FHR I have emailed the IT support email, but did not even get a acknowledgement email, so who knows if they will ever respond.
The powerline back haul would be sufficient for me and the extra wifi signals are (if I see it right) piled on top of all the other signals. It is a mess.
Currently running one unit and the wifi is ok. If I add nodes, it will be problems on the wifi. Drops / poor speed etc. I will see multiple similar named networks sitting on top of each other, and I suspect some of those are backhaul...
I would like a copy of a firmware if you do get one. If they could also put each node on a different 5GHZ channel, it would be nice... seriously can not believe this product for 300 beans. I think it may be better to return it for refund.

@FHR I have the same problem.
My deco 'Tuinberging' becomes unstable when it starts switching between PLC and WiFi.
This deco is far away in our garden with a poor WiFi connection.
There should be an option to use only the PLC connection.

I have also just purchased the PX50 from amazon for PLC to an outhouse.
I saw a PLC connection briefly when I was using a old firmware version (didnt check the version)
When I then updated to 1.2.2 it is connecting over WiFi which is not what I want.
If this isnt sorted soon they will be going back to Amazon
