Deco chooses wireless instead of wired ethernet
I'm losing my F'in MIND here. I have 5 Deco's (mix of m5 and 1 m9 main deco). There is always 1 deco that chooses to work wireless instead of wired. Solution? Pull of power cable and reconnect. But the problem is, then an other deco does that. It's a cat and mouse game and i'm tired of it.
How can i fix this? They are all wired connected.

Yes, I routed the fiber-ethernet bridge directly into the X50 in the garage and it then used the physical connection for the backhaul. The swtich was moved to the second port of the X50-POE. I did get a PoE 5 port swtich for the garage and may try going back to the orginal setup.

@Jesus88 same issue, have 5 6E units and there is always one connection that is wifi backhaul instead of ethernet. A reboot will force ethernet backhaul but effectively kicks another node off ethernet. What gives? All are connected via etherney to a switch which is connected to the main deco.
was there ever a fix for this? Completely maddening!

This could happen when Ethernet link between the switch and Main Deco is broken. Check if everything is OK there: the cable connecting switch to Main Deco is good and is not accidentally unplugged.

@Alexandre. tried replacing the cable between the main deco and the 8 port switch that connects everything else.
It's interesting, it's not a failure in that internet doesn't work, but one of the nodes always reverts to wifi. Which one varies, but at no point have all nodes successfully completed ethernet backhaul. There's always one - which one varies - that is using wifi. As an example last night we went to watch a movie stored on our local deviices. Big lag on startup until the deco "figured out" that there was ethernet backhaul available. Then it switched over to ethernet, but my office moved from ethernet to wifi backhaul.

Exact same issue for me. Of my three units (all connected via ethernet cable), one will always show WiFi and it changes between the units. Checked all cables and connections, still waiting on a solution.
Anyone reading this have any suggestions?
