Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: Deco M4(EU)_V2_1.8.0 Build 20250721

I operate up to 30 wireless devices in the DECO M4 network (4 pcs). I notice that after the firmware upgrade, devices that were on the signal limit (weak signal) now do not connect at all (cameras, gate controllers, robotic lawnmower station, ...). I tried moving 1 DECO M4 closer to the devices mentioned - they connected without a problem. From the above, it follows that the signal strength decreased after the firmware upgrade, since the devices were not moved and had previously worked without a problem for months / years.

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Can I have some screenshots of your network topology, such as:

 

By the way, how far away are these smart devices from the nearest Deco?

 

"devices that were on the signal limit (weak signal) now do not connect at all (cameras, gate controllers, robotic lawnmower station, ...)"

-Were you saying that, before the 1.8.0 upgrade, the signal strength of these devices was "Weak"? Now, they can't connect at all after the upgrade?

 

Deco M4 supports IOT network. Have you tried to enable the "IOT network(2.4GHz+ WPA2 only)" to check if it helps improve the WiFi strength for the smart home devices?

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
