Deco P7 and M4R mesh in AP mode creating loop
Hi, I have a Deco system with 3 P7 and 3 M4R in AP mode wired to 2 distribution switches. My ISP has sent me a new router Mitrastar GPT2742 and when I installed it, only the main router appears stable connected thru Ethernet. The rest of the APs are flapping Ethernet and WiFi backhaul.
i think that, for some reason, this new router is detecting the DECO backhaul as a loop and it is dropping the interfaces ( the main deco is connected directly to one of the router ports).
is there any way to prevent this or disable mesh feature so that I can keep my network up?
thanks
@David-TP this is the network diagram. Note that with the older Askey HGU router everything has been working for years. I have asked the ISP if there is any LD or STP feature in the router that I could disable but they don't have the answer.
just as a side note, my P7s are running a fw version created time ago by your support to disable PLC back hauling that was giving us a headache. 1.4.9 Build 20201217 Rel 53797
every time I've tried to upgrade to the latest release, P7s started to flap and lose IP address
hope this helps
