TP-Link Switches are mostly compatible with our Deco’s Ethernet backhaul. However, we find that some switches, mainly the D-Link switches, will not forward packets based on IEEE 1905.1 protocol, causing all Deco units in a network loop and becoming quite unstable, you might consider changing another switch or contacting switch’s support directly. The Deco Ethernet backhaul feature is based on the standard IEEE 1905.1 protocol. It's probably that you're using a switch that does not forward specific multicast packets. You can swap the Internet port and the Ethernet backhaul port for a try.ģ.Please try connecting two Deco units directly by using one Ethernet cable, bypassing the switch. On the main Deco, one port should connect to the modem/router to get internet, another port can be used for Ethernet backhaul. What can I do if the Deco units become unstable once they're connected via a switch?ġ.Try a different port on the Deco/Switch. Please turn off the loop detection function on your switch, then reboot your switch and try again.ī: Contact the switch's technical support to confirm if it has loop detection enabled by default or if it has a hardware problem. If your switch supports loop detection, it may block the port used by Deco. If the direct connection works, the issue may be related to the switch.Ī: Deco switching from Wi-Fi backhaul to Ethernet backhaul may create a short loop in the network for 1~2s. Please connect two Deco units directly without the switch if there is one between the Deco units. Please connect the satellite Deco to a different port on the Deco/Switch.Ĥ. And if yes, the selected IPTV port can't use to establish the ethernet backhaul, and it can be used for IPTV only.Ģ. Please check if Deco has enabled the IPTV feature. Q5: What can I do if the Ethernet backhaul is not taking effect?ġ. In this case the Ethernet Backhaul only works between Deco units that wired connected together. You can wired any satellite Deco to other units for Ethernet backhaul as you want. Q4: To use the Ethernet Backhaul feature, do I need to wire all my Deco units together? JetStream 8-Port Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch with 2 SFP Slots【TL-SG3210】: įor more switch models, please refer to: If you don’t have a switch or if your switch is verified not compatible with Deco Ethernet Backhaul, the following models will be a good choice.Ĩ-Port 10G Desktop/Rackmount Switch 【TL-SX1008】: Ĩ-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Desktop Switch 【TL-SG108】: Most of the switches on the market support Deco's Ethernet backhaul feature. Q3: Which switch models support Ethernet backhaul? You can click on the network map on the Deco app, then click on a satellite Deco to check which deco it connects and whether through the Ethernet backhaul or not. When the Deco is set to work under Access Point mode, you can wire satellite Deco to any Deco unit or the main modem/router.Ĥ. Please follow the steps below to establish the Ethernet backhaul.ġ.Please set up the Deco units on the same network via Wi-Fi at first through the Deco app before you wire them together.Ģ.Place the satellite Deco in the ideal location for the best coverage and then wire Deco units together with Ethernet cables, the Ethernet backhaul will take effect automatically.ģ.Deco works in Router mode by default, please note that the satellite Deco is requested to wired to the LAN port of the main Deco or a switch connected to main Deco’s LAN port to avoid a network loop. Once Ethernet backhaul is established, the Wi-Fi backhaul will disconnect automatically. And Deco will transmit data between the two units through the Ethernet connection, which is more stable and faster than Wi-Fi. Thanks to this feature, every two Deco units can be wired with an Ethernet cable.
