    If they’re wired back to a switch, they’re not “mesh” APs. Having a wireless AP-to-AP backhaul connection is what “mesh” is.

          Ok, I can play along. Just because they’re not being used in a mesh doesn’t mean they aren’t still mesh APs (because they are). It’s just on the ones I have, I prefer the stability of wired over the speed of the tri-band wireless backhaul. I’m not saturating wired at the speeds I’m using anyway (500/500) with a lot of streaming to different devices.
