Ethernet Backhaul Not Happening
Ethernet Backhaul Not Happening
Help! I cannot get my ethernet backhaul to work. Here's the config.
1. Internet Source (500mbps): Optical fibre into ONU and lan out into port 10 of TP Link Switch SG1210P
2. Main Router/Modem: TP Link Deco X50 powered over ethernet from switch’s port 1
3. Additional TP Link Deco X50: Approx 15 feet away from main deco powered over ethernet from switch’s port 2
4. All wires are D Link Cat 6 UTP with all end to end points checked using a network signal continuity tester without any issue.
Status: Ethernet backhaul is not getting picked. The decos are communicating with each other wirelessly. Internet is working but the speed in the additional deco zone is about 100-150mbps lesser than main deco zone

You will not need to add a Deco.
This is how you new network layout will look, with Deco mesh running in Access Point mode:
If you have enough Ethernet ports on new router you are going to get, you can even remove switch from the layout by wiring Deco directly to the router:
In both cases, to avoid issues, I would suggest to get TP-Link brand router, which should support Deco Ethernet backhaul. Check the following model: TP-Link N300 WiFi Router (TL-WR841N).
In my region (Canada) they sell it on Amazon.

@Alexandre. Oh great. This is immensely helpful. I will have to use the switch because it is powering the decos via poe. Will try out a tp link router and update this thread with the results. Thanks again for your prompt replies. Warmest Regards
