You don't need a mesh system for wired interconnects - ordinary APs will
do for that.

The whole point of mesh is it establishes potentially multiple
connections between the devices giving redundancy and added throughput.
So to work well you need enough of them in a layout that allows them to
actually mesh rather than forming a long chain.



Dont forget the advantage of a single SSID for wireless connection.
Thats been a huge boon for us.
