There really is no hard info on how the Vodafone Mesh extenders work, other that they are supposed to be zero-config! Other users in here though have confirmed that they will use ethernet backhaul.
I guess the thing with Mesh systems is that they are supposed to be transparent and pick the best route for your signals back to the router. At times that can mean the router not handing over to the mesh.
*I don't use the Vodafone router. The Mesh extender here has a camera and smart device bound to it. During weekdays, pretty much nothing else will ever bind to the extender. Come weekends though, when there is more local interference, more devices connect to the Mesh extender. It is, as it should be completely transparent - as long as it works, and once the struggle to set up was complete, it has flawlessly, then that's all good!
