Yes, I can confirm this too. I have one of the nodes in my office (with the router node downstairs), I have the node plugged into a little poe 4 port switch and my IP Phone for work connected to that. Everything connects just fine and I'm able to make calls from my office with no issues.

It does support ethernet backhaul after you get them setup via wireless in the same room. I believe it can be put in bridgemode based on the options I had seen.

It is supposed to, but I had some issues. When I was attempting to set this system up, I would plug the ethernet backhaul in and the network would go down. That same network jack works great for my laptop. I plan to try again this weekend when my family doesn't need it, as I've seen that ethernet backhaul works for others.

I also use this in AP mode, which is roughly bridge. Note, the app does not allow for bridge mode specifically, it only allows a router and AP mode. If you are going to use it with another router, be prepared for it take a little longer to setup, and it may cause some issues with your existing network until it's fully setup. I think this is the apps fault, but it was a big pain in the butt for me.

I just found the spec sheet and it lists support for Ethernet backhaul and access point mode.
