Help with BE98 Pro + BE96U in Mesh

[NYCHitman1]

Hello all,

I recently upgraded to BE for WiFi 7 from older AC/AX connections. I acquired the BE98 Pro as the main and the BE96U (Ethernet backhaul) as the mesh node. I'm using FiOS as my ISP (Gigabit connection). Due to it being FiOS, I have to use Dual WAN to get full speeds for both DL/UL (it's stupid, I know..), however, I noticed that all devices connecting to the BE96U mesh node are not getting good speeds. I don't know why, but hoping someone more knowledgeable might be able to assist.

Appreciate the feedback in advance.

If you're using Ethernet for backhaul then I suggest you turn on Ethernet Backhaul Mode, (if you haven't already done so)? Which ports are you using/what backhaul speed between the two?

EDIT: Why/How do you need dual WAN? Are you paying for 2 service plans?

For some odd reason on FiOS, it limits speeds when you do not use Dual WAN. Regarding the mesh, yes, it is on ethernet backhaul mode. I am using the 10G ports.
