wireless

Hi there, this seems like a simple question, but I can't find a firm answer: is it possible to connect via ethernet a secondary Telus Boost device?
I managed to run a long ethernet cable from the T3200M to the bedroom where I have poor WiFi. I hooked up a switch in the bedroom and connected the Boost unit to it. I was hoping the Boost would use the wired connection to get internet, but it continues to use the wireless connection to the main Boost unit next to the T3200M. When I use the My Wi-Fi app I can see that the main unit is connected via Ethernet and this second one wirelessly. I reset the second unit and joined it again using the app's wizard and it still ends up using the wireless connection.
I read other posts here that seem to imply it's possible to have all Boost units wired, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any hints? Thank you in advance.
