This solution worked for me:
1. Set up Deco S4 + add other S4s to create network
2. Disconnect all Decos except main one by removing power cable
3. Add Ethernet Switch
4. Add each Ethernet cable to switch checking each one works before adding next one
5. Turn other Deco S4s back on (lights go from yellow, to flashing red and back to white when they show up on the app as being reconnected)
I hope that helps you

I have the exact same issue
I want to add an ethernet switch to the Main Deco s4 but it crashes the set up every time I try
In addition to William_Kohut's set up I have also tried...
Modem>Ethernet switch>Main S4>Other S4s
which doesn't work either
I'm really keen to get a printer and some other stuff connected via ethernet so any help or suggestions would be gratefully received

Hi,
May I know the model number of your network switch?
What did you mean the Deco S4 crashed, like all the Decos turning red or the internet starting dropping out?
Did the Deco S4 work on the wireless router mode?
Thank you very much and wait for your reply.

Thanks for your reply @TP-Link
My Decos are S4 not M4
The model number is S4R (EU)
When I attach the ethernet switch to the main Deco, and then connect some devices via the ethernet ports, all three S4 Decos turn red and there is no internet
I then have to reset the Decos to get them working again
Thanks again - looking forward to any suggestions you can offer
