@Kevin_Z 

 

Thank you for this Beta version

I faced same issue with my New Deco M5 which I bought and updated after 4 days of usage.

After update there was frequent disconnection and the Internet speed was also very slow.

 

I am not sure why TP Link is not making it officilal or fixing this issue in the latest build.

 

I can see this Beta version is from Jan 2020 and its still not official till July 2020.

Glad I found this otherwise Deco M5 would have become a paper weight for me.

 

The Speed is good like earlier, I will review it for few more days and update if I am facing connection dropouts and any error with this beta version.

 

Regards

Akhilesh

@onemoar I went through the struggle of connecting all of three Deco's via an ethernet cable. Guess what: I again experience frequent connection drop-outs as soon as I add the third Deco. That makes me wonder: is there 'any' configuration with three Deco's that works smoothly in the first place?

@coolspot18 Thanks for your response, which made me look into the Ethernet Backhaul configuration.

 

I'm going change my current configuration:

Hopefully this helps.
