Hello,

I'm looking into options to cover a 2-story building with WiFi7. Having thick walls, I'm now looking at a set of 3x BE85 with 10G backhaul through SFP+ ports.

From what I found on FAQ,

https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/1794/

all 3 nodes can't be simply connected into my backbone fiber network, so I thought about a small 4-SPF+ port 10G switch between main unit and other 2 nodes, with 1 port to spare just in case. Backhaul switch must support IEEE 1905.1.

 

And this is where I came to this optimization problem. I have an 8-port SFP+ switch, which is L2 managed. I can assign 3 ports to a VLAN. Will that work for a wired backhaul?

This is way above my level 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

In a meanwhile I spent some time researching the topic and found answers and solutions.

It looks like the problems with switches for mesh system backhaul are not caused by unsupported protocol, but by loop prevention implementation. I found reports on using managed switches in which loop prevention can be disabled and that solves the problem. Seeing how many issues this causes, I redesigned my network and went to direct backhaul and daisy chain approach. I also cancelled my order on BE85 and decided to buy from another brand.

I remember times when designing a network was easier.
