Devices that connect wirelessly to an M4R slave, show up as "Main Network(Wired)" in the Deco app
Hi there,
I got 3 M4's in a daisy chain setup behind my cable internet router similar to the top picture on https://www.tp-link.com/nl/support/faq/1794/. The main Deco is in Access Point Mode. So the 3 deco's are connected to each other via UTP cable (the two satellites serially behind the Main Deco), using the wired backhaul functionality.
The following strange thing happens: any device that logically connects to the 3rd Deco, at the end of the daisy chain, show up in the app on Connection type as "Main Network(Wired)" as if they are connected (via network cable) to the middle M4. But these devices are not wired, they are on wifi, in fact very close to the 3rd Deco in the chain (and getting max speed from there). Given the fact that these devices are wifi only, the app should show that they are on "Main Network(5 Ghz)" at least, not "Main Network(Wired)" !
Any clue what is going on here? Is this a bug in the app?
Any wireless connections to the Main Deco and the first slave show up fine in the app as they should. And besides, speed is excellent everyone in the house, even around the Deco at the end of the daisy chain.
