2.5G Port for backhaul with Aimesh Node?

[JT Strickland]

lightning could have, might have only affected that part of the mobo...because there was no connection. if you need the functionality that has been smited (smote?) by lightning, the router is pooched.

yea, I don't feel like I will know for sure until I can sling something 2.5G at it, in the absence of testing equipment.
I should narrow it down to equipment or cable next testing session. I'm betting equipment now.

edit: Actually I think I have proved that, just a matter of which router now. That will show up next test.
