Ethernet Backhaul create ip conflict problem
Ethernet Backhaul create ip conflict problem
Hey TP-LINK !!
Since i start using ethernet backhaul on one of my satellite deco unit idk why deco create ip conflict problem with main deco unit after i reboot that satellite deco unit internet stopped working and also all devices stuck on obtaining ip address on all deco units even on main deco too and when i use Deco App so the App showing no internet connection and i can't able to do anything. I'm using deco in Router Mode and i don't want to use AP Mode. Before ethernet backhaul everything was working fine but i start using ethernet backhaul because that satellite deco unit not getting strong signals from main deco. My ethernet backhaul is connected to switch which is connected to Main Deco.

David can correct me If I'm wrong on this but Deco units in Access Point mode will not assign IP addresses; the router you have connected to the Deco system is responsible for the DHCP function.
The only thing I can think of is that the DHCP server on the deco for some reason can’t talk to your splitter and that’s why there is the IP conflict.
There are two ways you can test this IMO
- Remove the splitter and test in both AP mode and router mode. If the issue goes away in both modes, then it’s the splitter if you have the issue still its either the device itself or the deco
- Replace the splitter with the LS-1008G switch you have. It is on the list of approved switches for ethernet backhaul
Here is the list of tp-link switches combatable with deco ethernet backhaul.
