Hey folks,
I have 2 Audiences and I can't use cable to extend my wifi network, so I need to rely on wireless backhaul. I've spent the last two days trying to setup the network without luck.
This is basically what I want to achieve:
I was able to set the 2GHz and 5GHz network for the clients, but I'm confused how to setup the 5GHz wireless backhaul connection on the 5GHz 2x2 antenna. Can someone help me?
Also, once the wireless backhaul is setup, the clients connected to the Audience Bedroom will be able to get IP address from RB5009?
Thanks in advance. I really want to avoid returning the devices.

This is basically what I want to achieve:
- RB5009 as CAPsMAN v2 server.
RB5009 as DHCP server.
- Audience (Living Room) in CAP mode, connected to RB5009 via cable + PoE
One 2GHz (2x2) SSID for some devices (printers, IoT and etc)
One 5GHz (4x4) SSID for newer devices (Android, iOS, MacOs)
- Audience (Bedroom) in CAP mode, with power adapter
One 2GHz (2x2) SSID for some devices (printers, IoT and etc)
One 5GHz (4x4) SSID for newer devices (Android, iOS, MacOs)
Apple TV and Android TV connected via cable to the Audience ports (ether1 and ether2)
