Deco M4 2-Pack Initial Setup fails
I have just purchased the Deco M4 twin pack to improve my wifi coverage. Setup is very difficult.
I have followed the instructions and at the point where it says connecting to Deco_xyz it comes back and says it failed to connect to Deco_xyz
I have NBN FTTC and have the NBN modem and 2 x routers (telstra + fritzbox). I have tried connecting the m4 directly to the NBN modem to take the 2 x routers out of the equation and the setup still fails.
My android phone has no issue connecting to the Deco's wifi as part of the setup process. If i dont connect to the deco wifi as part of the setup process, it says that it has found multiple decos and then I can choose which m4 wifi to connect to on my phone, but it still fails the next step.
If I connect the m4 on my LAN, i can see it on the network (they will both get an IP address from my router).
I have tried setting them up without the ethernet connected but still fails.
Very tempted to return them as the setup is not very user friendly.
Have tried the other suggestions - turn off bluetooth, no difference, turn of mobile data on phone - then you cant proceed pass the setup as you have to logon to tp-link's site to continue the setup.
any help greatly appreciated.
