Main deco appears in ap mode with ethernet backhaul
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
According to the topology graph give by tp-link, ap mode with ethernet backhaul should not be having main deco, but it appears with a main deco in my deco app, and it is the signal source for all my others deco. I have 7 decos, 3 are M9, 4 are M4R. However, in the advanced menu, the operation mode is shown as ap, when i enter the operation mode options, the operation mode shows as router. nat, parental control function is also not available. It make me confuse about the actual operating mode it's using. I would like to know in this case, what is my actual operating mode?or is it normal to be like this?
His was long post, but one item there is not correct, if it is how he described it.
He opens Advanced section in Deco app, it says there Operation Mode: Access Point.
He drills down, by selecting Operation Mode, and next screen says it is Router mode:
This can't be correct, and it is not how it is with my Deco app. My Deco app says Access Point mode on both screens. These two screens are supposed to be consistent.
PS. I don't know if it is relevant or not, but wording in my Deco app is slightly different from what he shares in his, perhaps different app version? For example, his says Router (Default) and mine says Wireless Router (Recommended).
Hi, My APP 2.7.4 on iPhone SE IOS 14.5 showed router(Default)as well, instead of the wireless router, what's your App version and mobile phone?
I think I was wrong yesterday since I tested it again just now, it showed access point chosen on the operating mode page but I did not know why it was not like this yesterday

@Lmao Hi, if you were able to reproduce the same issue, please go to Deco APP>overview>help>contact us>suggestions and send us the APP system log;
Thank you very much.
I've sent the suggestion through the app, thanks.
I still have a question which is the main deco thing, as said above I use ap mode with Ethernet back haul, but according to the topology graph given by tplink, there shouldn't be any deco act as the main deco. Is there any problem with it? FYI, the app shows that for all deco, the main deco is their signal source connected through ethernet. My topology is router(from isp)--- switch----- 7 decos.
