@VegasSam,

YES! This is one of the main advantages of mesh networks, and why many mesh nodes have fewer ethernet ports than a standard router. This is an extremely efficient way to distribute the load on the network, or to provide a more consistent connection to your home entertainment center.

In my case, I have network switches that support my wired security cameras after the mesh nodes, that way they use the dedicated backhaul, rather than the usable network signals to transmit their data into the main network and storage medium.
