Is Ethernet Wired Backhaul also available when the main unit is in bridge mode?

Hi,
I’m thinking of buying an additional HD unit and connecting this via ethernet cable to the main unit on another floor.
Currently I have an Edgerouter setup and the HD is in bridge mode.
Can i keep this setup when I want to use wired backhaul , or must the first HD be in router mode instead?

Hi @Raka74 - Ethernet backhaul works fine with routers in Bridge mode
The process to set up the Ethernet backhaul RAMP is the same - add the new router as a wireless mesh point, then toggle the control in the app to enable wired backaul, and then connect an Ethernet cable from the RAMP's WAN port to a LAN port on the main bridge mode router

Good to know- thanks!
Do you know if you also can still connect devices to the other LAN ports if used like this?

Hi @Raka74 - yes the LAN ports on the RAMP are active
