Amplifi Instant Kit
-
Hi, I just ordered this kit and was wondering: can I connect the meshpoint via ethernet backhaul? I see it everywhere on review sites but nowhere on the manuals online or... I see that extra routers can do this as RAMPs. Thanks for confirming!

Hi @Frederik-Winters -...
can I connect the meshpoint via ethernet backhaul?
Yes, you can
But note that there is only a single Ethernet port on the Instant kit’s mesh point, so you will lose access to it for LAN devices if you use wired Ethernet backhaul unless you use a switch in-between

@Frederik-Winters Yes, you can use Ethernet backhaul but only with the mesh point that comes with the Amplifi Instant kit or if you buy an additional router to use as a mesh point. Amplifi MeshPoint HD devices will also work as part of the mesh network but these are WiFi Backhaul only.

Thank you both!
Then I know I made the correct buy
I have a hall UTP cable connection on the first floor, perfect for this setup.
