@Parushev Yes this route would totally work but it is added a few extra steps epically if you plan to do more than just once.
Over the years I've found the that being able to run a speed test from the main Deco really useful when troubleshooting internet issues. I think this and people trying to find the best balance of speed and coverage while finding the placement for their satellite makes sense to add this feature.

@CenterInYou why don't you connect a laptop to the satellite Deco ethernet port via FTP cable and run a speed test on the laptop/PC? Keep in mind that whatever you do, a satellite Deco will be limited by the connectivity to the main Deco since a speed test will pass through it. If you would like to test a satellite, promote the satellite to main and test it directly.

Good to know! I actually did purchase a pair of CPE210 for this project but I thought since the other building was only about 100 ft away max having two setup was overkill. Next time I'm at this location I'll bring the other one and try it out. Thanks!

Hi, I have seen a similar setup:
Modem > M5 (Main) >--cable--CPE210(AP mode))))---WiFi bridge---(((CPE210 (client mode)>---cable--- M5 (Satellite)
Then satellite M5 is ok to create an Ethernet Backhaul.
So I think you might need a pair of CPE210s to build a wireless bridge in order to create the Ethernet Backhaul.
Thank you very much.
best regards.

Any chance we will see Ethernet backhauling work over a PTP? My current setup is Modem > M5 (Main) >CPE210 (client mode)> M5 (Satellite). In another building about 100 feet away from my house I have a TP-Link CPE210 in client picking up the WiFi from the Main M5. Then Ethernet from the CPE210 to the Satellite M5. In testing the CPE does provide wired internet to the Satellite M5 if setting up brand new but if I set it up first wireless as a Mesh / Satellite of the Main M5 and then plug it it into the Ethernet on the CPE it does not do Ethernet backauling.

@XWEBNetwork Yes I have a few Samsung TV in the house. I might give your suggestion a try

@Voices Do you have Samsung TVs by chance?
I'm actually using these Deco's (15 of them) at my inn and we have exclusively Samsung TVs. Turns out Samsung TVs are notorious for broadcasting themselves as "localhost" on the network, which is a networking travesty.
So, I manually set the device names to something super simple, RM101, RM102, etc and then assigned static IPs to each TV. Also set them to use Google DNS at 8.8.8.8.
Network has been exponentially more stable, reboots haven't failed in about 3 weeks, no connectivity issues with certain devices...absolutely mindblowing.
Fun Fact: Samsung has known about this issue for a very long time apparently and never rectified it. Nice.

@XWEBNetwork Yes this happened to me over the weekend. Reboot every Sunday morning at 5am. Woke up and all decos were blinking red. If I only had the main deco active, it would turn green. As soon as I added additional decos via ethernet, the entire system went down. I didn't think of power cycling all the decos. I ended up recreating a new network.
