I have 3 x Whole Home Wifi discs. Having recently built an outbuilding, I wanted to extend the Wifii coverage to the building due to the distance involved the standard wifi backhaul signal was poor (orange LED, 2.4GHz connection). Having read that the Whole Home Wifi discs support an Ethernet backhaul, I've installed a CAT6 Ethernet cable between the outbuilding and the main house. This plugs directly into the internet router, as does one of the WH Wifi discs (Kitchen). This cable works just fine, as tested by plugging a laptop in and validating connectivity. I've then moved one of the other discs to the outbuilding, and expected it to use the Ethernet backhaul - but it's not working.
I've tried resetting the disc to factory defaults, but still no luck. Here's the current status - office is the relocated disc.
How do I force this disc to use the Ethernet backhaul?
