The short version is you'll want to ensure that one set of radios (5 GHz typically) are configured for backhaul mode. The ethernet port on the far side of the link will need to be set to either bridge-access or bridge-dot1q (depending on if you have a need for VLANs to traverse the WLAN bridge). I always find it best too pre-configure the hardware prior to installing them so you can work out any kinks from your chair.

Thank you for clarifying for me. This guide will walk you through how to set up a Mesh connection using HiveManager (formerly NG): https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/Mesh-in-NG
