Blinking red led on newly setup 3rd deco m5 unit

Model: Deco M5

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi,

I've added a 3rd unit today. I plugged in the network cable and power and followed the iPhone app instructions. At the end of the setup led is blinking red. Restarting all existing units didn't work. Other two units are working. The Ethernet cable socket is working as I've worked with it with my laptop. I don't understand how it can not track other units via the Ethernet cable.

Welcome to the community.

Did you add the 3rd unit via APP like this:Adding an additional unit to your TP-Link Deco network

By the way, is the new Deco wired to the main unit or the other satellite unit, or actually it is wired behind a network switch, like ISP--modem--main M5(router mode)---network switch--3rd Deco?

And if there is a switch, may I know the model number of the switch?

Best regards.
