Hi, the layout is possible for both Ethernet backhaul and wireless backhaul;

Thank you.

@TP-Link

to make it clear, the switch is the one connecting all 3 units.

@saruman

This layout, all Deco units connected to same switch, will work when Deco mesh runs in Access Point mode. You will have Ethernet backhaul and all mesh features.

See General questions about Ethernet Backhaul feature on your Deco.

Little known fact: with such layout, if you power off Main Deco or it fails, another wired Deco will take role of Main Deco. It adds resiliency to Deco mesh.
