If the WAN port is disconnected, the main Deco will keep searching for a connection and won’t decide which port is WAN & which port is LAN until it gets an internet connection. Once it gets internet connection from one Ethernet port, the port will become the WAN port automatically. The main Deco does require an internet connection to decide the role of its two Ethernet ports. Regarding the issue you mentioned, it’s normal that you won’t have access to the NAS when the main Deco is disconnected. 58040 which according to the email is a “debugger”? We have scheduled a teamviewer chat later this evening where she will remote into my computer to reprogram the LAN port.
#Earthnet internet service update
The senior tech just sent me a firmware update v 1.4.4 Build 20200318 Rel. I think this is very bad feature, because you do not figure it out easily and for instance for me the whole automation is based on the idea it being not dependent on working internet - this totally destroys that goal.
#Earthnet internet service manual
And least they could do is to explain the behavior in their manual … I would appreciate a lot if you could also complain TP-Link this very bad feature. I think the only solution is to add one more Deco connected with wifi to the main Deco and use those ethernet ports to connect your equipment. I said them it is time for them to make tests and solve the problem instead of tease their paying customer (I have 10 units) - I got finally so frustrated to them that I kindly asked them to destroy all my posts because they did not help at all. They kept asking me to make different tests even all my documented tests proved my point. I documented the case in many ways with many units for them and their answers depended on who was on the other end. Unfortunately not - I contacted TP-Link support and they were all over. I will highly appreciate all the answers - please help. I have Deconz Raspbee shield (no wlan?) ->solution is not using wlan here with RPI, it needs to be a cable and it needs to connect the main Deco.Īny idea is my main Deco OK or is it not working as it should? In the other Deco units in the same network (not the main Deco) all the ethernet ports still work and the devices are connected and you can ping them. RPI handling the automation is connected to the main Deco with ethernet cable on the other ethernet port (there are two of them per unit), once the internet is lost the other ethernet port loses the connection to the mesh also, no ping no active device in the mesh. I can see all the devices connected to the mesh and I can connect them and ping is working - except one: When I pull my ethernet cable out from my main Deco unit (Bridget thru the modem), basically all the mesh is still working “locally”. I had my doubts here - there were signs that this was not probably working. The problem is when you lose your internet connection.

However I found one very bad feature in these for home assistant. In two locations I run HA in that environment I have many TP-link Deco M5 mesh network units in different locations and I have been very satisfied with this system.
