AiMesh question. (is this really working properly?)

evildoer

Occasional Visitor
I have set up an AiMesh network between my main router (AC5300) and the node (AC68u).

I want it as a wired connection, so as per the instructions I have a cable going from a regular port to the internet port of the node. Also in the properties of the node (from the main page I click the node icon, on the right panel I click the node itself, click more config) I have a dropdown box where I have selected "ethernet" instead of auto, and under that it says "wired".

So it sounds like it is configured how I wish as a wired connection, but when I look at the connections list I would expect to see a wired connection to the node, where I do not, but I DO see two wireless connections to the node on 2.4ghz and 5ghz!

So is this on wired or wireless? It states its wired, but by all indications it is wireless, which I absolutely do not want. Its wasting wireless bandwidth and making clients using the node go through double wireless.


Here's an image showing the node with an ethernet icon

Here's an image showing my client status connections to the node, which are wireless, not wired.
