Hi, 

Recently I've installed a set of 5 deco's in my house with one of them as main router. 

The deco in the living room is connected with the main through the following schema:

Main deco -> gigabit switch 1 -> managed gigabit switch -> gigabit switch 2 -> living room deco

I have not set any VLANs on the switches and the other devices on the gigabit switch 2 have full speed internet. But my wireless connection loses internet connectivity (wifi symbol changes on my phone and it says "Internet is not available") every couple hours for about 3 minutes when I'm connected to the living room deco. I do not have this same problem with the other deco's. 

I have the feeling this is caused by the living room deco trying to do backhaul over WiFi even though the connection is pretty bad to the main deco, even though its plugged in and has a wired backhaul option. Is there any way for me to see what type of backhaul the deco is using or has used? Or an option to set the deco to wired backhaul only? 

I really love the system and it works great all over the house, but this internet dropping is really annoying. 

Could TP-Link advise on the situation or does anyone else have similar problems?

Regards,
