Model: Deco XE75

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.2.5

Just bought the Deco 6e three pack.

Connecting an Ethernet cable from any of the three Deco to the cable router works and provides WiFi connection to the Internet. However, leaving one Deco connected to the cable modem and taking either of the other Deco to another room and connecting the mesh, still provides WiFi, but none of the Ethernet ports will connect to a PC. Even ports that worked to provide connection to the cable modem.

Using 3 different Ethernet cables that all work from the PC to a different router, plugging them in to the Deco the PC reports "No media connected".

Any ideas or suggestions?

@RingofStone

In my experience this usually happens when PC has static IP address configured on it. Deco mesh provides IP addresses in different range than cable router. When PC is connected to cable router, its IP is in the router range and everything works, when it connects to Deco its IP is not in Deco range and connection will not work.

The solution is configure PC to get IP address dynamically (from DHCP).

If that alone does not help, assuming it is Windows PC - run Network Troubleshooter and/or reset Network Adapter to factory (original) settings through Control Panel.
