ethernet backhaul

Ethernet backhaul is the wired link between mesh Wi-Fi nodes, and it is often the difference between advertised multi-gig speeds and what actually reaches a satellite node. The tagged discussion on WindowsForum.com examines Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems where a wireless backhaul becomes the limiting link, and explains why replacing it with Ethernet can produce a dramatic practical improvement. MoCA is covered as a viable alternative when coaxial cabling already exists in the home. The key point is that results depend on the specific mesh design and route, so blanket claims about wireless backhaul halving throughput are treated with appropriate caution.
