5g uplink but cabled

[Avinitlarge]

I’ve just replaced a failing RT-AC86u with a RT- AX88. I’ve re-added the nodes but they are using 5ghz uplink instead of wired. I’ve spent all afternoon trying to sort it out and I’m loosing my mind.

The 3 nodes are RT-86u x2 and a RT-68u.

Thanks

EDIT
I’m a massive idiot, Ethernet backhaul was turned off in the RT-AX88

is the backhaul setting on AUTO or Ethernet (wired) ?

When asking for help use correct full model numbers.

The system should auto detect the Ethernet backhaul. It is not necessary to enable Ethernet Backhaul mode nor to change the Backhaul Connection Priority or Preferred WIFI Uplink AP.
In fact, if an AiMesh node which is wired suddenly switches to WIFI, there may be something wrong with the Ethernet.
Auto AiMesh node settings are best...

The nodes were all set to auto as default but the RT-AX88u was set to off after a factory reset, after turning it on it all worked with wired.
