DECO x50 third device linked via WiFi, why isn't connecting via ethernet?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have an elementary topology at home.
ISP modem (BELL, wifi-disable, DHCP enable)---ethernet--->Deco x50 MAIN with WIFI network Setup --- ethernet--->DECO Living room----ethernet--->Basement.
For some reason, the Living Room to Basement segment is linked with WiFi. But I have a direct connection from port2 to port2
The first setup was done with Router Mode, after that, I changed to AP mode, and wifi coverage at home started to be much better, but the basement device converted to wireless. Please see the pictures attached.
Please advise.
Regards,
Viktor

If your Basement Deco can't connect to Living Room Deco over the Ethernet cable, the first suspect is Ethernet cable.
Bring Basement Deco to where Living Room Deco is and connect them both by very short Ethernet cable, 1-3 feet (up to 1 meter) length. See if they can establish Ethernet link through that cable.
