Multy U (WSR30) is capable of wireless and wired connection between each Multy U (WSR30). When the root node uses the Ethernet cable to connect the extender node, Mutly U (WSR30) WiFi System supports both wired and wireless backhaul in the same time, and the best path of the traffic will depend on the system calculation. It means that Mutly U (WSR30) WiFi System will analyze the environment and the throughput between each nodes to choice the best transfer path for your data, the traffic may go thought the wired backhaul or the wireless backhaul.

For using Ethernet backhaul, below are two scenarios.

Without the Switch:

Step 1. Please set up Multy U (WSR30) WiFi System via wireless backhaul.
Step 2. Plug the Ethernet cable with LAN port of the root node and WAN port of the extender node.

With the Switch:

In the scenario (With the Switch), this switch will only use for Ethernet backhaul communicate.
If any client devices connects to this switch, it will not able to access Internet.

Step 1. Please set up Multy U (WSR30) WiFi System via wireless backhaul.
Step 2. Power off the switch.
Step 3. Using two Ethernet cables, LAN port of the root node and WAN port of the extender node connects to switch.
Step 4. Power on the Switch.
