You need to check if brand support cable backhaul for mesh. I think ASUS aimesh supports cable backhaul. If i’m not mistaken, i stand corrected, for tplink mesh, it has to be wireless backhaul to achieve mesh capability (same ssid), if you use cable backhaul then the 2nd unit will work like a normal AP (different SSID).

Opp, this is new to me.

I just bought one POE router, two POE switches and 10 AP (RJ Socket with WIFI and powered by POE) for a 3 storeys house. So, everyone bedrooms and common areas, I will have LAN points for PC and WIFI for other devices. I gave my house layout and the seller suggested the solution to me. He did not tell me 3 phase would impact the network. Next month I will see the result, finger crossed.

LAN cables are the best.

Install a router and switch rack too.

Perhaps I can add in some info on how I did for my network since I renovated my home.

I had all Cat 6 cables pull all around the house. All cables will route to a location in store room.

Ordered many wall faceplate for the cat 6 with easy plug and play keystone.

Faceplate link - Lazada Link
Keystone Cat 6 - Lazada Link

Keystone jack + faceplate = plug and play.
I have a PoE switch in the store room and it can also power IP Cam as well. You may need to purchase 48v to 12v PoE splitter (waterproof optional) for the CCTV.

Use 3 AP for the whole house, and it's able to cover all the dead spots.
Each room has its own LAN wall socket for full gigabit connectivity.

I think he meant "powerline ethernet" rather than "power over ethernet"

Power over ethernet =/= Ethernet over powerline

Thanks for clarification. I actually contacted the seller and he assured me the AP sockets he sold operate based on DC supplies from teh POE switches and should not be impacted by AC power supplies.
