backhaul randomly has failed
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have 3 M9 and 1 M5 that have been working in backhaul mode for many years.
Randomly this has stopped. the main router is connected to only one device on ethernet. the other 2 are connected via wifi link. Nothing has changed in my network. I have done a number of tests though
1) all the cables/ports are fine. I have connected other devices to them and checked the physical connection points with a line tester all the way back to the switch
2) wired ethernet is working across the board
3) i have 2 switches (both TP link due to previous problems with backhaul and mesh on a dlink device) tried isolating the backhaul to either one, no effect
4) when you plug in the deco to ethernet the switch doesn't see the device
5) when you attached a line tester to the decos ethernet point it is dark, on both ports
Leads me to believe that the ethernet ports have somehow been disabled on these 2 devices.
Device 1 spec that is failing. Deco M9Plus Firmware 1.61
Device 2 spec that is failing. Deco M5 Firmware 1.70
other two devices that are working just fine
Deco M9Plus Firmware 1.61
Deo M9Plus firmware 1.2.12 (this is the main router)
Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.
Can I have a picture of your network topology with the model number of the main router and the network switch, such as
After that, can I have some screenshots of the network map and Backhaul type on the Deco APP:
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.
