Hi,

I have a set up a X50 main Deco set in router mode, with several M9 Plus units functioning as repeaters in 4 separate floors. The wifi connection between floors is not very good, so I want to connect them via ethernet cables. 

 

The setup would be like this:

modem > Main Deco 1 in router mode > ethernet cable > Deco 2 > ethernet cable > Deco 3 > ethernet cable > Deco 4

 

I read in another thread that I needed a switch to achieve this, but I'm not quite sure why I can't connect ethernet cables directly between the decos?

 

Thanks

  @M55ikael You can certainly go for the setup you describe.

 

Ethernet is frequently cabled in a star configuration, all cable terminating at a single location.  In such a configuration, a switch would be required to connect all satellites to the main Deco.  (It is not allowed to connect a satellite to the modem when the Deco is in Router mode.)
