Can't get second node to work

Hi,
I just got my 2 Deco E4, but I can't get both to work.
My old mesh network died (other brand), it used to look like:
Router (Vodafone CGA6444VF), via cable connected: main node (in bridge mode), NAS, and switch (which had secondary node and some computers connected).
First I tried to connect my Decos the same way (in Access Point mode), but then the second node won't work. So I connected the switch to the main Deco second Ethernet port, then the second Deco managed to configure and work, but my computers (connected to the switch via ethernet) speed dropped from 200 Mbit/s to 20 Mbit/s... But when the second node isn't connected via cable to the first it just refuse to work, mostly I can connecto to it but get no Internet, sometime I get slow Internet and sometimes it's just turns red.
I need to have my wired devices and my wireless devices on the same network.
I've updated both nodes to latest Firmware (at least the app says it's the latest).
This is how it used to look (before switching to Deco, and this was how I first tried to install my Decos), the switch with the access point is on the other side of the apartment and have the most high traffic units connected. All the connections are wired, we also have several laptops, tablets, phones etc. using WI-FI (via the mesh network, it's turned off in the router).
