I am considering getting one of these Tenda MW6 or TP-Link Deco M5 Mesh systems to replace the current setup I have which is just a couple of old DSL routers with the Wifi active, but as they don't allow roaming and they don't really let go of the connection when it gets poor I am looking to upgrade to a mesh system so my phones, tablets and laptops will move to the stronger connection when moving from downstairs to upstairs.

I would be looking at a two pack and am hoping someone who uses one of these sets can confirm that I can have both connected via ethernet and still have the roaming capabilities and I don't have to rely on the second one connecting to the primary via WiFi only.

Had the MW6 units delivered today (went for them as they were basically half the price of the Decos). Got them setup in Bridge mode with both using Ethernet backhaul and am pleased to say they work as I hoped.
