WAN or LAN?

Hi,
I'm seeing contrasting opinions on the web for this and hope somone can guide me.
MODEM >> (WAN Port > AX58) >> (WAN Port > AX58)
MODEM >> (WAN Port > AX58) >> (LAN Port > AX58)
Which of the above is correct?
Thank you!

Hi,
As far as TP-Link's routers are concerned you should connect them like MODEM >> (WAN Port > AX58) >> (WAN Port > AX58), no matter what operation mode you have chosen for the second AX58.
TP-Link's firmware automatically configures the port labelled "WAN" to suit the needs of the designated operation mode.

If you want a regular level-1 transmission network, refer to the first case.
But if you want to build an Easymesh Ethernet backhaul, refer to the second case. How to Build an Ethernet Backhaul Using Two EasyMesh Routers
