Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.5

Hello,

 

I currently have a network setup working with 3 deco M4, with one main and two slaves. 

 

My question is : how can i force one of my slave to connect to the other slave (working as a relay then) to create a chain link ?

 

I've seen on the forum that it would be normally be possible, even though i don't have the option to do it on my app. It's weird because i've downloaded the latest version of both the firmware and the app.

 

If some one has some clues to help me it would be fantastic !! ;)

  @EnzoBarbier You can install this firmware 1.7.0 manually by using Web UI on your browser on phone or PC/Laptop and then you will able to see Connection Preference option in Deco App and then you will able to connect your Decos like Main Deco to Satellite Deco 1 and from Satellite Deco 1 to Satellite Deco 2

  @ARGamingPK1 Thank you so much for your answer ! Though i am very unfamilliar with Web UI and i don't really understand how it works .. 

My Deco App is on my iPhone, and it doesn't seem that there is any version of Web UI available for IOS, isn't it ? Furthermore, how does it work, donwloading Web Ui will have an affect on mmy DECO App ?

  @EnzoBarbier You can upgrade and downgrade your firmware from Web UI or you can try Early Access 1.7.0 firmware and on Deco App you will see many new features after updated to 1.7.0 firmware.
