Cannot setup ethernet backhaul

Hello,

I've been trying to setup Deco AP with ethernet backhaul all day and cannot make it work.

Here is the setup:

Router is connected to Switch TL-SG108PE on port 8

switch have Loop prevention disabled

Main Deco X50 POE is connected to port 1 with POE and setup as Access Point mode in the app -> Firmware version 1.5.0

Second Deco X50 outdoor is connected to port 2 with POE -> Firmware 1.3.1

During setup i've clicked the "i want to connect with ethernet cable".

But it is still connected to wifi in the app an i can't place it further, which is annoying since i've planned to place it outdoor as it's name suggest.

In the switch web UI I can see the port 2 enabled but down.

I've tried to reset both but at no avail. Help me figure this out.
