DECO X10 CONNETION ETHERNET/WIFI. HELP
Hello. I recently purchased 3 deco x10 (one at a time) and connected them together in this way: I have 3 floors (including the garage. For simplicity I will number them in order starting from 1). the garage deco and the third floor deco are connected via ethernet to the telecom router on the top floor. the last deco, located on the 1st floor, is connected via wifi to the 3rd floor.
Diagram:
Garage:Ethernet - 2st Floor:Wifi - 3rd Floor:Ethernet.
Now there are two problems. I will start by saying that they are in AP mode
-1. having another free ethernet port on the garage deco I decided to connect a switch via ethernet... the big problem is that the deco port switches to 100Mbit/s when the switch and all the connected devices are Gigabit! I don't understand... shouldn't it be ALL Gigabit!?
-2. before this setup I had this configuration:
Garage:Wifi - 2nd Floor:Ethernet - 3rd Floor:Ethernet
When I tried to move around the house my phone (I took it as a test device) did not lose even a single wifi bar. Very rarely did it lose one but only during quick movements. Now it remains for several seconds with only 2 bars before moving to the closest deco and sometimes it also makes a mistake preferring the one in the garage (reinforced concrete) instead of the one on the 2nd floor (kitchen and where I am). Maybe having them connected via ethernet does the ieee 1905 protocol come into play? Is this what could "annoy"?
-3. How does the "main" deco work? Can I set the deco connected via wireless as the main one or only the one connected via ethernet to the telecom router?
Please, these points are very important to me and I would appreciate an answer to each point I mentioned (the order does not make one point more important than the other!).
Thank you very much
