Need a firmware or way to force Ethernet connection

Friday - last edited Monday

Model: Deco BE25

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version:

I have full TPLINK system, TPLINK Router (BE550 Wifi7), and TPLINK Deco BE25 as my mesh system. I have followed the right topology to setup my Deco.

Router-->Main Deco-->TPLINK Switch--> 3 x sattelite decos

All the points have Ethernet Connection. However, one of the sattelite simply refuse to connect through Ethernet and instead use Wireless Signal source. I have tried to change this Deco as Main Deco and then another Deco would be problematic where it uses Wireless Signal Source.

Is there a way or firmware to force the deco to use Ethernet?

Hi, Can I have the model number of the switch here?

Did you set Deco into "Access point" mode?

Please also refer to this link to submit the Deco APP log:

How to submit Deco APP log

Here are some suggestions for your reference:

1. Please disable the "EasyMesh" feature on the Archer BE550.

2. Test whether the following topology helps:

Router-->Main Deco-->TPLINK Switch--> sattelite deco#1

--> sattelite deco#2-----> sattelite deco#3

Wait for your reply and best regards.
