Hello,

I have two Deco units connected via Ethernet. Deco 1 is configured as the main router using PPPoE and has three connections:

1. WAN (direct connection from the ISP)
2. Ethernet backhaul to Deco 2
3. Switch that connects multiple wired devices, including my home server

The issue I’m facing is that whenever there’s an internet outage from my ISP, none of the devices on my network can access the home server. Local network functionality seems to fail entirely until the internet connection is restored.

I believe that disabling the auto-WAN feature and manually assigning a dedicated WAN port on Deco 1 would prevent this problem.
