Google Fiber Jack -> Main Deco (1st floor) -> switch -> wired backhaul -> 3rd floor Deco

 

Rebooted 1 hour ago, LED was dark green.

 

Now, LED on the 3rd floor unit shows RED.

 

App says the 3rd floor unit is offline

 

2 wired devices connected to the 3rd floor unit working just fine.

 

So.. this seems like a reporting mistake?  Why should the LED be RED when it's working ???

 

It *seems* like the Deco can't comprehend wired backhaul vs. wireless.  1st floor unit is 20ft directly below, and yet the wireless is medium/weak without the wired backhaul.  It smells as if the Deco is reporting wireless status and ignoring the wired connection???

 

What gives?

 

FWIW, I was attempting to replace an Orbi system (which was using the wired backhaul just fine and didn't seem quite so confused)
