Hi all,

  I am planning to purchase BE85 (3 pcs pack) when I upgrade my fibre plan to 5Gbps.

  I am reading and watching some videos on BE85 and I am a bit confused.

  I am planning to use wired backhual and I have the following questions:

  1) Can I use 1 of the unit to be a router?  I hope to connect it directly to the ONT and use it as a router.  Some articles and videos said it can and some said it cannot.  With this, 1 unit will become a router and the 2 satellites as AP?

  2) For the other 2 satellite units, do I need to use a switch to connect the ethernet cables or can I plug 2 cables directly in main unit (which act as router) and link them together?  I am confused on this part as I am not sure which 2 ports (2.5Gbps or 10Gbps) should I plug the 2 ethernet cables into the main unit (to maximise the internet speed) if no switch is needed.

     If 1 port of 10Gbps is needed for the connection to ONT, does it mean that I can only use the remaining 2 ports of 2.5Gbps as my wired backhual?  Is it better to use a switch for the wired backhual of the 2 satellite units?

  I hope that my questions are not confusing.  Please help to advise on the above.

  Thank you.
