Model: Deco X1500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi, i 'm new to the deco system. i just bought the ax1500 deco with 2 units. I would like to connect both of them via ethernet in router mode and i made this connection type: 

 

 

That switch was originally connected to main router so it can give my TV, Apple TV, and other equipment in the living room internet connection. Now, i unpluged cable from main router to switch, and connected main Deco to switch. Just like the diagram above. Both Deco units shows wired connected, fine....BUT now i don't have internet on my other equipment. 

 

Is that behaviour expected? is there anyway i can have that topology and have internet over the other switch ports so i can feed internet to my other equipment? Switch is a 10 year old TP-LINK TL-SG1008D if that helps.

 

Like this one: 

 

 

Regards.

Hi,

 

In this topology the switch should be able to provide internet for the other wired devices.

Please test different Ethernet ports on the main Deco and also on the switch.

Also, please check if you have set IPTV settings in Deco.

Thanks, i think it's working now. I re did the wiring, and unpluged all ethernet cables from switch, tested all ports (all good) and connected every device one by one checking everyone had acces to internet. 

Now i have the 2 Deco wired (backhaul) in WIFI Router mode and all other devices have internet. Second day all good. Let's see how it goes. 

 

So, from what i realised, now, my living room devices are all getting internet from main Deco unit, wich is connected to main internet Router. 

 

Regards,
