Access point mode + Ethernet Backhaul - NOT WORKING
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have purchased 3 Decos. I already attempt to set it up more than 3 times over the last 2 weeks. Was told to wait for new firmware.....
New firmware is finally here . 1.1.3
Here is my desire set up:
Modem/ router/ switch => CAT6 => Deco1
=> CAT6 => Deco2
=> CAT6 => Deco3
How I set the Decos up:
1) I reset all Decos
2) I plug Deco1 with CAT6 to the switch
3) Pair it with the APP
4) Power up Deco2 ( not connected to the switch, only USB power )
5) Pair it with the APP
6) Power up Deco3 ( not connected to the switch, only USB power )
7) Pair it with the APP
8) Check and updated firmware on all Decos - saw it reboot
9) "Working mode" finally available and I change network to AP mode
10) Connect my mobile to new SSID/ Network. Check I am in the same subnet as the router. All good
11) Power down Deco2 and Deco3 and move it to my other room which has CAT6 to the Modem/ router/ switch
12) Plug them in and wait
13) All Deco LED is Green after a few mins
Try connect to the new SSID/ Network, Seems like the network is up and down....I saw "connecting....", back to 4G, and "connecting...." Never managed to connect
Also try my laptop. Same, cannot connect!
What is the issue here??
I cannot daisy chain ( that would require 2 CAT 6 in each room, not practical! ) and cannot use wireless between Deco, the Wifi is too weak between them. I do not want to add a 2nd switch, that is crazy for AP mode! The Modem/ router/ switch and Decos are all on the same subnet anyway...And I can see them from my router admin pages, all given unique IP.
What is going on??? Please help....I want 1 SSID for my whole house, it is the value of Deco. My current router + old extenders work fine but I have different SSIDs depending on where I am, moving equipment is also a nuisance....
Please fix.
