Wi-Fi configuration issue Solved

Question

Hello everyone, I am here on this forum because I am unable to configure my wifi correctly. Here is my equipment: I have a HUAWEI B525-23A 4G router with a Bouygues SIM card (unlimited 4G box plan). I wanted to add to this 3 Linksys Velop mesh wifi routers (AC6600).  So, I connect the main Linksys unit via ethernet to the Huawei router, and I connect the rest via wifi as recommended by the manufacturer; everything works perfectly for 2/3/4 days, then the Linksys units stop working (red light)....  I have tried several settings (Bridge Mode and automatic mode), but nothing works... I am really lost...  If someone can help me, I would be really grateful!  Thanks in advance.

Hello, strange, this is probably not a configuration issue if it works for a while, but rather interference from an electrical phenomenon, try to see what in your environment might be causing disturbances, otherwise, if you connect directly to the Huawei, is it working or not? It’s possible that the central Linksys Velop router is malfunctioning.  -- and ... there you go!

I don't think that's it: - I tried this configuration at my grandmother's house in the countryside, same thing. - I tried setting each of the three access points as the master unit, same thing. - I replaced the Huawei router with an equivalent Huawei model, same thing. - I replaced the Linksys routers with my old Netgear router: same problem...  I'm afraid it might be more complex settings like DHCP configurations or something like that, but I can't find it...

Well we're lacking details to say something because you're sending us the fog you're experiencing. Let's summarize, when connected directly to the router with a PC everything works, OK. Try adding just one Linksys access point via Ethernet behind the router to see. Otherwise, forget this DHCP story, there's no reason it should mess up after 3 days. Also, what if it's just your PC?  -- and ... There you go!

I connected a Netgear Switch to the first LAN RJ45 port of the HUAWEI 4G router (there are 4, including the last LAN/WAN), then I plugged a Linksys access point on it and.... miracle! Everything seems to be working (internet connection OK, local network visible, restarting does not cause disconnections, no loss of speed...) So I won't touch it for now; I hope it will work in the long run. Thank you very much for your help, really thank you, I was desperate (if I see a red light, I’ll throw myself off a bridge)  Should I mark the topic as resolved? Or should I come back in 3/4 days to make sure this solution works? (so I don’t create a second topic if I can’t unmark resolved)

After a few days, I finally think I found the cause of my issues: an RJ45 cable had a bad connection. So I simply changed that cable and, miracle, no more problems. It was really silly... Thanks to @brupala for helping me.
