Hi, welcome to the community.

The main Deco needs to be connected to main ISP router all the time.

For the rest 19 satellite Mesh nodes, it is not suggested to connect them wirelessly to each other. It will easily run out CPU capasity and both network speed and statiblity will suffer.

 

You might consider adding several network switches and wire some of the Deco units via Ethernet cable.

Best regards.
