Deco P7 Poweline backhaul in access point mode

2024-09-01 12:14:30

Model: Deco P7

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.4.11 Build 20231227 Rel. 66020

I have 3 Deco P7s. They were working pretty well in router mode. The backhaul was connecting via powerline because they don't have a great wireless connection due to the thick masonry walls in the house. I didn't have a way to run ethernet so that I why I chose these units some years ago.

I have new internet service and wanted to use that router due to some of the features it has vs the P7, so I changed my P7 to access point mode. Now it no longer connects via powerline. Is something wrong with my configuration, or is this to be expected?

Hi, Welcome to the community.

It is not an expected behavior and the working mode should make any difference to the Powerline Backhaul.

Would a power reboot of all the Mesh system help?(please try to make sure the main Deco boots up earlier than the satellite P7s)

By the way, since there are 2 satellite P7s, did neither of them still work on Powerline Backhaul?

Wait for your reply and best regards.
