Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hi. I have a smart TV and 2 media players that I would like to connect via LAN, and at the same time under the Deco Mesh network so that they are discoverable. However I face some challenge as the main Deco M4 router I have only have 2 LAN ports, one to connect to modem while another one to my TV, which means I don't have any more spare ports to connect my media players. 

 

Can someone help me please?  Thank you.

This is what you can do to add more Ethernet ports to Main Deco.

@Alexandre. Thanks for the prompt reply..tried out your solution at once, but my second ethernet port in deco seems to be unable to function.

 

After some research, finally found out it was because my country's ISP needs to enable VLAN (port 500) in deco to connect. When VLAN is enabled the second port can connect to a switch...(i read it will be reserved for IPTV)

 

Is there any other possible ways? Please help and thanks so much!
