Model: Deco BE16000  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.6

Ethernet backhaul seems to be broken and my nodes are constantly failing over to wireless backhaul in AP mode. This is causing problems with latency between internal devices on my network, and sometimes causing my switch to shut off ports due to loop detection. Even when I plug both child nodes directly into the main one, they are choosing the wireless backhaul over direct 2.5Gbps CAT6 connection. Wired backhaul is working correctly on the 2 W7200 nodes that I have connected to the BE16000 main node. 


Please allow users to disable wireless backhaul completely if the nodes are connected via Ethernet. If its going to prefer the wireless connection, what's the point of offering wired backhaul as a feature in the first place?

I have tested and can confirm that the pre-release 1.0.7 firmware that I have linked below resolves this problem. Ethernet backhaul is now working as expected.
