Can't use ethernet backhaul with a switch

Hi there,
I was wondering if I could get some help regarding the set up of my deco M4. I am currently trying to work with the following setup:
Modem ---> Main Deco ---> DLink DGS-1016D Switch ---> Slave Deco
but for some reason, the main one keeps choosing to connect to the slave deco over wifi which has a terrible signal.
I can't tell where the problem is. Is it the switch the problem in this case? I've checked all the wiring and everything works fine with other devices through the switch.
I've tried turning off Port Isolation on the switch, so that the decos can speak to eachother via ethernet. I've tried connecting the slave deco directly to main using ethernet and it works flawlessly.
But I need my whole house under the same network for easy manage.
Please advice me on the issue, and if the switch the problem here, suggest a not so expensive 16+ port switch.
