Deco M9 does not initiative wired backhaul

Saturday

Tags: #Deco Ethernet Backhaul

Model: Deco M9 Plus

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

Hi all,

I have moved into a new house and now have the following setup:

I have an internet ISP router in the basement. From that router a UTP cable runs to a tp-link TL-PA7017 unit. At 3 locations in the house I have a 7017 unit from which a cable runs to a Deco M9 plus for the mesh network.

However, the strange thing is that the 3x Deco M9 do not all communicate via cable with eachother:

So the zolder (attic) uses wifi to connect to the woonkamer (living room).

I have no idea why this happens.

Any tips?

For troubleshooting purposes, configure Deco mesh to run in Access Point mode and see if all Deco units start using Ethernet backhaul. See https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/kb/detail/334
