Bug: Firmware 1.2.2 Abnormal WAN and Ethernet Backhaul notifications. + Forum issues
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Updated 4 X5700 to firmware 1.2.2 from 1.1.6.
-
Deco page and primary unit is reporting message: "Abnormal WAN port speed. Please check your WAN port connection"
-
Satellites are reporting: "The Ethernet Backhaul speed is low. Please check your Ethernet cable connection"
Speedtest from a connected device to a Speedtest server is fine (600/500Mb)
Funny considering the release notes said this firmware improves ethernet backhaul.
Addressing the obvious questions in advance:
-
System is configured in AP mode (primary reason I selected TP Link deco)
-
System ran with no issues or notifications on firmware 1.1.6
-
All units are connected via ethernet to L2 unmanaged 2.5 Gb switch
-
All ethernet runs are certified CAT5e
-
WAN speed is 5Gb
Forum issues:
- 1 file upload limit per post
- I combined 3 screenshots into 1 and then tried to upload, and the page hung. After 5 minutes I gave up and reloaded the page, losing all this typing. Fix: Tell users what the file upload limits are.

IEEE 802.3bz, cat5e is certified to carry 2.5Gb up to 100m. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5GBASE-T_and_5GBASE-T
In fact, cat5e can carry faster speeds for shorter runs. I have a shorter run of 92 ft negotiating and passing traffic at 10Gb. The longest deco run is 82 ft. But my cat5e runs are certified, which isn't typical for most consumers, so advising a higher spec cable is reasonable.
