Unable to connect via. Lan port with default configuration

I have been testing a fairly simple setup with 2 HalowLink devices:
One is in AP Mode (green)
One is in Extender Mode (blue)

On each device i have connected a Raspberry Pi via. ethernet to the LAN port.

I’m connecting to the AP’s 2.4Ghz Wifi from my laptop to see which devices exist on the network. I just enter the 192.168.12.1 dashboard to see which devices are connected.
I notice that the device connected to the Extender’s LAN port is not showing up.
If i instead connect the device to the Extender using USB it does show up.
Shouldn’t the default configuration work out of the box via. the LAN port?

I have the 2 RPi configured the same way. I have created a ‘20-halow.network’ file in /etc/systemd/network with this content:

“”"
[Match]
Name=
[Network]
DHCP=yes
[DHCP]
RouteMetric=1024
UseGateway=false
“”"

I’ve used the same configuration on both RPi’s. When i connected via. USB i used something like
=enx9483c4825ffe, with Ethernet i used =eth0

With Ethernet it gets stuck in ‘configuring’, it seems like its never being assigned an IPv4 address or something like that. I’m not a network expert so i can’t tell. Any help is appreciated

Hi @vengaman

All ports (USB, LAN, WAN, and even 2.4GHz Wi-Fi) should be “bridged” to the HaLow interface in extender mode.
What happens when the ethernet cable is connected to the WAN port of the extender?
