Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.4.3 Build 20200918 Rel. 74289

I have two Deco M4 mesh system. Main one is connected to WAN at port 1. I want to use the second port to connect to my network for a wired only device. However since I think it's on router mode, it doesn't give me IP on that port. What can I do? It seems to be a waste to have two gigabit ports on the device then. There must be a solution.

@Alp_T. 

Hi,

Did you enable the IPTV on the Deco APP?

--if yes, the second port is only available for the IPTV server, so if it is not necessary, please turn it off.

Thanks and wait for your reply.

@TP-Link It's the source of the problem however I don't know how but without IPTV/VLAN configured the router doesn't connect to the internet. This is due to my ISP probably, without changing anything if I disable it, my internet connection is gone.
