I want to administrativly disable WiFi backhaul.

My Decos are hardwired to a gigabit switch.

 

I understand that the WiFi backhaul is a failback method when a switch is attached -  and is SUPPOSED to be inactive -  but I am seeing bridging loops on my switch.

 

I would like for TP-Link to stop knowing whats best for me and provide me the ability to disable WiFi backhaul.

Don't have many useful suggestions apart from trying to wire in your Decos to a compatible switch or try to wire as many as you can to your main mesh unit directly then use wireless backhaul for the rest. I was getting STP/network loops but never realized the issue was the concurrent wireless backhaul while wired in.

 

Please TP-Link give us the option to disable wireless backhaul completely when ethernet is connected. It is causing STP across my network and many others and I don't think it makes any sense to have wireless+wired backhaul since it won't exceed a wired 10GbE experience.
