TP Link switch that support Ethernet backhaul for Deco M5
Hi all,
My network setup is as following:
[[ ISP modem --- D-Link switch + Toto-Link switch --- Main Deco ]] Deco 1/Deco 2 (wireless)
Things works fine.
Currently, I am trying to wire Deco 1/2 directly into switch to activate backhaul feature but in in Deco app it still shows Wifi as signal source. There seems to be an issue with IEEE 1905.1 protocol not being supported on D-Link switch (as mentioned https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1794/). Seems like using TP-Link switch is a safe bet here but I went through all switches listed on the website but nowhere in specs table IEEE 1905.1 was mentioned.
1/ Can you guys help me on what switch support this protocol?
2/ In my current setup there are two 8-port switches (I had 2 of them so I setup it that way). Is it better to use just one 16-port switch instead (theoretically and practically)? I am thinking of this switch TL-SG1016D
Thanks.
