I recently retired my Archer AXE75 from router duty to being just an AP, which means my two RE815XE no longer can use Onemesh. These three were able to easily cover my entire house prior to changing over. One of the APs is just wireless while one of them is wired into a switch to allow other devices to be on the network.

Due to the above, i am looking to upgrade my APs to Omada devices - i would prefer to go a bit big and get three EAP770 - i like tri-band and getting into Wifi 7 since i suspect getting devices that can utilize it soon.

I do have a server that i will use to run Omada Controller via Compose as well.

In short, i wanted to confirm that the EAP770s can be used without being wired directly into the network (wireless mesh mode) and see if anyone had any recommendations (even other brands) as well or pitfalls. I plan to have one plugged into my Opnsense router to transmit to the others, one just acting as a wireless mesh AP and one as a wireless mesh AP that i wire into a switch to allow other devices to access the network.
