Hi all, does anyone know if you can connect a device via an ethernet cable to the smart WiFi plus booster? I have a smart heating system that only supports a wired connection and ideally needs to away from the router to cover the house. Currently it is plugged into a third party mesh box, but want to replace that mesh with smart WiFi as relatively old now
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

@Jslister, yes you can assuming you are using wireless backhaul (the Smart WiFi box only has a single Ethernet port).

@Jslister I cam;t find a pic of the smart WiFi plus device, but if it is the same as the previous version it does have an ethernet connection so you should be OK.

I could see an ethernet port on the back, but the docs I could find suggest this is for connecting to another mesh device. Yes, I would be using it as part of a Wifi mesh and plugging the IoT device in.
Thanks

@Jslister- should be fine then. I speak from personal experience 👍
