Same here. Have 2 Deco M5. Just got M3W and it behaves like typical repeater. Feel cheated

Information to developers:

I have performed several more tests with my mobile devices (Samsung A50) and laptop (HP x360) testing the problem with roaming and M3W:

*  First, I tried to activated the entire network to WPA/WPA2 security, and both devices work properly by roaming from one node to another.

*  Then I put back the security only WPA2, and the problem is repeated with the mobile (I tried two other Samsung mobile models and the same thing happens).
However, the laptop roaming with the M3W is ok (I don’t understand why the difference).

 

I think the problem arises from the different firmware. The DECO P9 is official and updated, the M3W does not allow me to update it with the beta version. I don't know if when it gets official it can be updated from the App without any problems. Manually from the Main Deco website it does not.

I tested in AP mode and Router mode and the behavior is the same. Regarding the M3W I have read that the current firmware version has no web interface, it does not allow to know the connected clients or the nodes to which it links.

I would need to know about TP-Link support if there is any other way to manual update the Beta version or when the beta would be official to upgrade from the App.

Thanks.

Sorry...which Beta firmware are we talking about? Are you saying that the Beta release has fix for this issue? 

 

TP Link support in India seems horrible. I'm just not able to get thru phone and chat option lets you only talk to Bot :(

Hi,

 

Review this post:

I have not been able to update the Deco M3W firmware to this beta, so I don't know if this will solve any of that issues.

 

 

Thank you so much. I was able to upgrade my M3W to beta and now it is working perfectly fine. I'm able to seamlessly roam from M5 to M3W

Ok. Very good news. That confirms the problem with roaming among Decos is fixed with the beta version.

 

My problem is tah my DECO M3Wt doesn't allow me to update the firmware to the beta version, despite having tried everything indicated in guide and forum. I haven't had a response from for community TP-Link support, and I have communicated it to support in Spain. I'm waiting support response to manual update with some software tool, or from the App if it firmware becomes official. I hope a solution soon.

 

Thank you very much for your feedback.
