Problem ethernet connection

I have a wired mesh network via Ethernet where the modem is an x3000-5g and then there are 3 x50 satellites connected via Ethernet PoE. It has always worked very well but today by pure chance I noticed that one of the 3 satellites connects to the main modem via Wi-Fi and not via Ethernet, if I try to restart the network it happens that it doesn't happen the same, but another satellite goes to Wi-Fi and the other two continue to go to Ethernet, so it's not always the same. The switch is a Zyxel [XMG-108HP]. What do you think it could be, a switch problem or a firmware problem? Thanks
I only solved this problem one way, and I'd like to ask you if this behavior is normal.
First of all, I'm using the main decoder with a SIM card inserted, thus using a 5G connection, while I wait for the fiber optic cable to be activated in my home soon.
I went to the deco app, to the operating modes section, and the Wi-Fi router function was set (there are four selectable options: 4G/5G router, Wi-Fi router, access point, and bridge). I selected the 4G/5G router mode, and all three satellites connected correctly to Ethernet.
So, my question is:
1- Is it normal that when I selected the Wi-Fi router, I encountered this problem, but when I selected the 4G/5G router, everything went back to normal?
2- As soon as they activate the fiber optic cable and I want to daisy-chain the router, should I leave the 4G/5G router function enabled or should I change the setting?
