Accepted WAN/LAN auto-sensing

Background:
 There is a typical network topology:

Some users might notice that, once the internet service fails, they are no longer able to access the NAS server from the local network.
The cause of this Phenomenon:
 When internet service went down and the cable modem failed to provide an IP address for Main Deco, both Ethernet ports on the main Deco would work as WAN ports to detect internet connection. NAS would no longer obtain an IP address from Deco.
Why do we use WAN/LAN auto-sensing on Deco?
 For the Deco Mesh system, normally, it would have more than 2 units, and each unit has at least 2 Ethernet ports; It would be time-consuming and confusing to find out which port should be connected to the ISP modem. And supposing that the WAN port is fixed, once this port is broken, the whole Mesh kit would be useless.
Recommended Solutions:
- Given that the issue arises only when the ISP modem fails to assign an IP address for the main Deco, once the cable modem recovers, the problem should be resolved. It is suggested to contact the ISP to restore the modem connection as a priority.
- The current workaround would be connecting the wired servers to the satellite Deco units instead of the main one.
- And we have also implemented enhancements on certain models, ensuring that the WAN port remains constant as long as the physical Ethernet connection between the modem and main Deco is unchanged, even when there is no internet service from the modem. Moreover, it is also planned to support manually fixing a specific Ethernet port as the WAN post on the Deco APP later.
The following models already support fixing the WAN port:

you will need to open a defect call with TP-Link as they have never responded to messsges on this forum. Tbh I'm not sure what point of this is as they don't seem to react to anything (I've tried emailing senior mgmt and all sorts all to no success)

Estou enfrentando um problema recorrente com meu sistema mesh Deco X50, que consiste em duas unidades. Após a reinicialização programada do roteador ou uma queda de energia, as portas LAN em ambas as unidades Deco ficam desativadas, tornando-as inutilizáveis. Isso é extremamente frustrante, principalmente considerando o alto custo desses dispositivos e o fato de serem anunciados com três portas LAN.
É decepcionante que a TP-Link permita que esse problema persista, pois limita significativamente a funcionalidade do sistema Deco X50 e interrompe a conectividade de rede dos dispositivos conectados. Tentei várias etapas de solução de problemas, incluindo atualização de firmware, redefinição de dispositivos para os padrões de fábrica e verificação de conexões de cabos, mas o problema persiste.
Solicito gentilmente que a TP-Link investigue este assunto minuciosamente e forneça uma solução permanente para resolver este problema. É essencial que o sistema Deco X50 mantenha uma funcionalidade consistente da porta LAN, especialmente após reinicializações do roteador ou cortes de energia.
**Detalhes adicionais:**
* Versão do firmware Deco X50: 1.2.0
 * Versão tvOS no Apple TV 4K: 17.5.1
 * Tentei usar cabos Ethernet diferentes para descartar problemas relacionados a cabos.
Espero que a TP-Link leve esse problema a sério e forneça uma solução imediata. Agradeço sua atenção a este assunto.
**Sinceramente,**

  @Jikra funnily, I have just moved from ASUS to TP-link for exactly the same reason - their RT-AX92U mesh was randomly switching WiFi off completely on one of the nodes and after multiple lengthy investigations they just said sorry we can't fix it, and by the way you're out of warranty so ... your problem. 
  
In contrast, TP-Link support have arranged a TeamViewer session with me, uploaded engineering firmware into my BE85 Deco and fixed the top port to be WAN. Now awaiting for this option to be exposed in the app.
