Android TV won't connect to WIFI when MESH functionality is turned on
I've created a new thread for this problem, I posted this a while back in a thread which was already flagged with a solution (which wasn't a solution, but ok ;) ) That probably means the thread won't get much attention.
Hello,
Fast update, I've updated to the newest firmware. (Deco M9 Plus1.3.0 Build 20190821 Rel. 54023) Which allows you to turn of Mesh Technology for connected devices. I'm sorry to say that my TV (Philips (55PUS6401/12) with Android 8.0.0) still won't connect to wifi when enabling fast roaming. My original problem still exists with this newest firmware.
2 Deco's connected via cables to a switch and that switch isconnected to a modem. Third Deco is on the first floor connected via WIFI.The TV is in a room about 4 meters (12 feet) from the Deco which is connected via cable to the switch.
Steps done:
- Fast roaming turned off. This is how I have to use my network now.
- Turned mesh technology off for my TV (around 22:00 (or 10 pm)
- Until now everything works fine and all devices are able to connect to my Deco's
- Turned on Fast Roaming
- TV loses wifi connection and other devices still work
- I can't get the tv to connect, not via the main WIFI or Guest network and WPS doesn't work either.
So while I think this newest firmware has a lot of great features, it still doesn't let me use fast roaming. Which is actually the reason I bought de Deco's.
I hope this information helps and if you have any questions let me know!
