Deco P9 - WiFi Issues, Intermittent Connection
Hi,
I purchased the Deco P9 yesterday and installed them on my Network, I currently have a Virgin Media 1000mbs package.
I put the Virgin Super Hub into Modem Mode and connected the first P9 up, it connected smoothly, from there I plugged in another ethernet cable and ran it through the ceiling to my troublesome room, I then powered on my next P9 and plugged the ethernet into it.
I then went and connected another P9 via WiFi rather than Ethernet.
I was then able to create a router mode network, all worked fine for roughly an hour, all families member came home and I mimicked the original SSID and Password so devices were auto-connecting.
I then shut down my laptop and left the house for one hour, when I came back, my phone (Samsung S10, which left the network) wouldn't stay connected to the network, it would load 1 page and then would say "Unable to connect to the internet". I booted up my laptop and this was having the same issue, it would connect but would drop internet connectivity.
The internet however was working okay for others in the household, they we're streaming (hard wired via P9) and also using WiFi surfing the internet on their Laptop too.
The only resolution I had was to reset each Deco, put my modem into Router mode and the Deco's into Access Point mode, from here I was able to connect.
However, this morning a family member complained of not being able to access the internet from their bedroom (directly above the hardwired P9), I did a speedtest in there when I was running in Router mode and I was getting 200mbs on consecutive attempts, so later on today I will run check the connectivity in that room.
Has anyone ran into any of the above issues? I'm close to sending my P9's back as I only received them yesterday and they've actually increased the problems in my network rather than solved them!
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
