I moved the satellite to another room, reset that room's port counters from the switch, and I am seeing traffic on that port, but the satellite is still on WiFi. In the first room I also had this router in another configuration with a wired PC to it and it worked fine for ~1-2 months. I am pretty sure that the cables are fine

EDIT:

I have moved Prestige satellite here and there and now they're cascaded wirelessly and for some reason port 8 on switch (Prestige router) is doing more traffic than port 24 (Main router/uplink)

Atelier router is on port 18

Also, I did a cable test on the switch for what is't worth, and this is the result:

EDIT 2:

I have factory reset Prestige

How does this make any sense while all of them are wired?

Hello@clockwork0 ,

Thanks for your reply with details.

 

Does it start from the new firmware update?

Did the unstable Ethernet backhaul situation occur on the same device, the Prestige you mentioned? How about temporarily powering off the Atelier unit for a comparison?  Is it still the wireless backhaul between the main router and the Prestige unit?

 

What is the model of your switch? 

 

A different port on the switch may have a different result. Have you tried that for the Prestige unit? 

 

I am looking forward to hearing back from you.

 

Best Regards.

  @Joseph-TP No, I've had trouble setting it up on the last update but it worked in the end.

Prestige was most of the time reverting to WiFi, but not always :)) Sometimes even Atelier was reverting to WiFi and that one is in a shed in the garden. Have not tested with Atelier off

Switch is DS1024GE TP-Link OMADA

"Have you tried connecting the satellite router directly to the main router, bypassing the switch? "

No, as the main router is not easily accessible, but I did connect Prestige directly to the switch for 30 mins and it was OK, although I think that's when Atelier reverted to WiFi

I moved Prestige back and that's when this ungodly thing happened:

Tried different port, same behavior.

After factory resetting Prestige it seemed like it was stable on cable, so I factory reset Atelier too and now it seems like it's working, but I should really test by rebooting all of them. But I am vaguely afraid to do that.

But right now the performance is much better on an old Quest2. From 40-50ms delay down to 5-6ms.

And now I see that I have an update to 1.5.2. If this update does not fix in any way easymesh I'm not doing it :)))

Another thing that may be relevant. In Atelier the cable was plugged in a LAN port but in Prestige was in the WAN port.
