I have an AC86U (aimesh router) that I want to use with an old AC68U (aimesh node). The ac68u is connected with ethernet on an the lan side of the ac86u with an switch(netgear GS724T) in between. But it seems never to use the ethernet it always switch to wireless?
If I read the configuration on the AC86U its always says that its node using the wireless?
Any suggestions or ideas how to solve this? Is it that there is a switch in between that corrupts the ethernet aimesh?

In the router webUI, set the node connection type to wired/Ethernet.

Some switches can defeat Auto sensing of backhaul type.

Also, note that the 68U does not support Smart Connect node band steering, so you should use separate SSIDs and manually steer your wireless clients to the preferred SSID/band.
