Which TP-LINK switch supports ethernet backhaul for DECO family?
Hi,
Could TP-LINK list which switches from the TP-LINK catalog do support ethernet backhaul for MESH Wi-FI (DECO family)? Please do not answer back to us, lame users, as any TP-LINK switch. Please list the models.
Much obliged,
Eddie.

We cannot provide such a list because the answer is any switch. Not just TP-Link but any manufactures switch, though I do recommend an unmanaged switch like the TL-SG108. Each Deco unit is a router in of it self and Ethernet backhaul is automatic when connecting 1 Deco to another, wether that be through the Deco's Ethernet switch port or through a switch. For best results connect the switch to the open Ethernet port (the one not connected to the modem) on the Base/Main Deco, and connect the other Deco units to that via Ethernet .

Hello Carl,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Could I bother you with a final question, same subject?
I have 4 D-LINK DES-1008A switches, unmanaged.Want to make sure what could still be wrong, which makes the satellite DECO X60 to crash every X-minutes.
Here is my connection layout attached:

@Carl I have connected the main DECO X60 to my D-LINK switch. D-LINK switch connected to the main DECO X60 made the ethernet and Wi-Fi network crash (the one coming from the DECO X60!). Why is that?

I saw your other post where you mentioned we talked about a known issue with some DLink Switches. To be honest i was not aware of such issues although that sometimes doesn't trickle down to the US local team as primary support is at the HelpDesk. I will need to take this information to my local QA team and see if they can help. Please give me some time to get you a response.
