first of all thank you for your help.
The infrastructure which i would like to set: INTERNET>DECO MASTER> DUMP SWITCH (TPLINK VR2800 V.1)>DECO SLAVES (2 pcs)
I am trying to use vr2800 because i have already had it.
I have set up settings which you wrote but it didn't work.
I tried another other options and worked:
-Work mode: Router. (I didnt tried modem mode. maybe it can work as well), you didnt mention and i tried router mode.
-I wrote vr2800 lan ip from deco master ip pool. Vr2800 doesnt accept main system subnet as lan ip.
-I made same network subnet with deco master network subnet.
-Disabled DHCP server as you wrote.
LAN PORTS started to work.
Last thing:
vr2800 has a usb port and ıf i use it as main modem, I can reach usb device from all network computers. I started to use vr2800 as dumb switch and connected hard drive to vr2800 but i cannot find hard drive from network options. Is it possible to reach the hard driver which connected to dumb switch (vr2800) ??? do you have any idea?

@terziyski I tried and it works but ip must be from deco ip pool 192.168.68.X and subnet must be same with deco
dumb switch (vr2800) is reachable as well.
Thank you very much.

Set VR2800 a LAN IP address within your network subnet. Disable its DHCP server and start using its LAN ports to connect devices.

It doesn't matter which mode you would set since you don't use any routing (NAT) on the VR2800.
Try the VR2800 in DSL modem router mode and check if you can access the USB drive - you should use only the LAN access since you don't use an internet connection in this case.
