S7 mutiple issues with advanced network
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Recently posted about an issue with the S7 and what I presume is a DHCP problem. But I'm not here to talk about that now. Though I would appreciate if someone could get back to me.
Running S7 in router mode. Main node connected directly to my modem via ethernet. Switch connected to main node. Raspberry Pi DNS server, second node, and a number of wired clients attached to switch. Third node connected wirelessly to network.
Node 2 is showing as a wireless connection to node 1 despite running ethernet. Why?
All wired clients including the DNS server are showing as connected to node 2 rather than node 1. Why?
I believe this is causing various issues. Please can someone explain why this is happening and how to resolve it?
Switch is a TP-Link TL-SG108S
It appears wired link between your switch and Main Deco is broken. Network layout will be the following and it explains what you see:
Node 2 can't connect by Ethernet to Main Deco, so it establishes wireless backhaul link. Everything wired to switch passes Internet traffic through Node 2. Because of that, every device connected to the switch is shown in Deco app as connected to Node 2.
This theory is easy to test: do nothing else but power off Node 2. If I am right, all devices wired to the switch will lose Internet after that, which will prove there is no wired link between the switch and Main Deco.
