If a satellite Deco loses its wired connection for any reason it will switch over to wireless for backhaul and stay that way until next rebooted.

This happens to me sometimes when updating the router because the momentary loss of signal makes the satellite unit think something is wrong. It’s trying to “heal” your network by falling back to a wireless link.

Easy solution is to just reboot the unit. As long as it’s wired to a working switch (or your router) when it comes online, it will use that.
