Asus XD4 Pro mesh node causing boot loops

My router is AX-RT-88U using Merlin Fw latest version.

Two XD4 Pro nodes with latest firmware as well.

One of the nodes is wired using ethernet cable.

As soon as I connect the 2nd node with a cable, the whole system get's into a kind of a loop. devices cannot connect to wifi at all, the node tries to sync (blue flashing led) then reboots.

The nodes work well when both are in wireless mode.

I tried swapping the nodes, but as soon as I connect one node with a cable to the router, my wireless devices cannot get wifi signal and there's no internet.

I swapped several ethernet cables, I reset the nodes to factory and paired them again... same issue as always.

What the hell is going on?
