Second connection on router is for what?

What is the second connection on the router used for? I tried connecting another device to it (to communicate with solar power company), but it isn't working?

It can be used to connect a network switch or a hard-wired device or another DECO in wired backhaul mode ..... anything any "normal" router can do.

Disconnect your solar communication system and connect a computer. If the computer gets internet then the solar system needs additional configuration. That Deco that you are trying to hardwire into should have a green LED.

I agree. It should be reconfigurable, or, the solar unit is simply not compatible.
