Hi all,

 

Question.

 

Is t possible to see how a Deco is connected in the mesh network?

 

So for the no.4 in my screenshot it's semi clear as the app tells me that the connection type is PLC/Wi-Fi.

 

However if we look at no.3 the Deco app tells me that that particular m5 satellite is connected through Wi-Fi to the main with is no.2. BUT no.3 has a WIRED connection.

 

Is there a way to verify that no.3 uses the wired connection?

And is there a way chance the signal source to Wired?

  @Pairis 

 

You will need to look at Show List screen in Deco app to find how Decos connect:

 

 

and after that open page for specific Satellite Deco to verify its connection and where it is connected:

 

 

 

Satellite Deco will prefer Ethernet connection. If Deco is unable to use Ethernet link, it will run on WiFi link even if there is Ethernet cable attached to Satellite Deco.

 

So, the question becomes not "how to force Satellite Deco connect through Ethernet" but "why can't Satellite Deco connect through Ethernet?"

  @Alexandre. Thanks for that! Good insights.

 

It is indeed interesting why it's closing Wi-Fi over the cable as it used to be my main deco. Ill have a look ans see if the cabel shows damage.

 

Thank you!
