Yes, you can connect Decos to switches to enable Ethernet backhaul. How you can do that, depends if you run Deco in router or in access point mode. See TP-Link FAQ article on that topic: General questions about Ethernet Backhaul feature on your Deco.

 

A caveat: Deco E4 has 100Mbps Ethernet ports. If you are getting faster than 100Mbps speeds on devices connected to Satellite Decos with WiFi backhaul, you may wish to leave these Satellite Decos as is.
