Deco mesh ethernet backhaul issue
I’m using a mixed Deco mesh setup with all units connected via Ethernet:
Deco 1 (Main) – BE25
Deco 2 – M5 (Ethernet to Deco 1)
Deco 3 – M9 Plus (Ethernet to Deco 2)
Deco 4 – BE25 (Ethernet to Deco 3)
The issue is:
Deco 4 (BE25) connects to Deco 1 via Wi-Fi instead of using the Ethernet backhaul, which causes Deco 3 (M9 Plus) to route through Deco 4 via Ethernet, resulting in an indirect and Wi-Fi-based path to the main Deco.
When I unplug Deco 4, all other Decos correctly use Ethernet backhaul.
My goal: Ensure all Decos, including Deco 4, stay connected via Ethernet and not Wi-Fi. Can you help me configure or force Ethernet backhaul across the mesh properly?
