Hi gang,

 

New setup here and hardly something critical but it's annoying and highlights that something is amiss

 

New house with beautiful FTTP connection, sitting at around 150Mb which is perfect. Used the BT Smarthub for a few days with solid performance but just no range.

 

So added 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units and disabled the wifi on the BT box and the range has vastly increased but we have noticed on all of the devices in the house that Whatsapp does not look to be downloading images or videos.

 

The app itself works fine and I havent noticed any other issues from a network perspective, this is just curious

 

When we turn wifi off on any of the devices, the images/video downloads instantly so it is related to wifi, i just cannot find out where

 

This worked fine through the BT hub on wifi

 

The Deco units are configured in AP mode and are all wired for backhaul through the house network cable and switch

 

Any thoughts welcome

 

p.s. hope you are all keeping safe and well

 

J

I hope you have found a solution to this problem but if you have not yet found a solution to this problem then you can try this method.

 

You have to go to settings and enable the download option. Go to WhatsApp settings > data usage > media auto-download >when connected on Wi-Fi

Here a pop-up window opens up which prompt a you to check the boxes which you wish to download when on Wi-Fi here you tick across all boxes. This will enable auto download of image, audio, video and documents

 

If you have any problem using this method on WhatsApp then you can try using this OGWhatsApp Apk but this OGWhatsApp Apk will be used from another number.
