Deco is connected via ethernet but chooses wifi
Hi all,
This is referencing to another topic where I didnt find the answer for my specific case so starting a new thread: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/599348
I do not know the hardware version of the X50 so I put v1 - it was bought in 2023.
All the other Deco's are M4R firmware 1.6.1
Connection is as follows:

From the main switch, a Zyxel GS1100-16v3 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch it goes to all the M4Rs or directly to synology or another switch which then connects to another M4R called Office = works fine and is showing as ethernet connected. All are working correctly as ethernet except Wellness.
The issue is the M4R called Wellness, it has given me a lot of trouble to connect in the first place. Initially it was showing as wired, now it says wifi and I don't want to mess with it as previously it didn't connect at all.
The M4R Wellness is connected as following:
- Internet > Router > Main Deco X50 > Switch Zyxel > Mama Wired (ethernet) > Mama extension (wifi, no ethernet possibility) > Wellness (wired but showing wifi)
- As stated in the past it showed Wired but was a pain to get working...had to reset and retry multiple times
- The wifi signal is now showing as high but can also be low, so prefer it to be wired
Any ideas? thanks
