@M3rhy

Hi, welcome to the community.

May I know the model number of your main ISP router?

Could you please help me run a simple test:

Try to daisy-chain each Deco M4 together like this:

Internet---main router--1st M4---<cable>----2nd M4----<cable>--3rd M4

Then check on the Deco APP whether the 2nd and 3rd Deco could use Ethernet Backhaul.

Wait for your reply and best regards.
