P9's working much better after update to firmware 1.1.2 - link stable and using powerline & wifi now
I was having big problems with my deco's only linking via wifi and constantly dropping connection between main unit and one of the satellites. The light on the problem unit was constantly flashing red/blue.
Since updating to firmware 1.1.2 all of the connection issues seem to have been sorted (1 week in)
After the firmware update on each unit, i did have to reboot the main unit, then after the main unit was online reboot the satellite units, before the deco app started showing they were linked via wifi and powerline.
Fingers crossed its stays this way!

@Joster I've just updated to firmware 1.1.3 this evening (for V1 decos). Not even showing up as available to download on the website yet. Info in the app said it included stability fixes. Only visible difference i can see is the upload/download speeds for each individual deco are now displayed.
Try positioning the units closer together so you can test that they do link reliably. I don't know how good/bad the wiring in your house is so hard to say how well it will work.
The P9's i bought are in my parents house which is a 120 year old farmhouse, wiring is obviously not that old but its certainly not new, hasn't been touched in the last 30+ years by anything other than mice since they've lived there! Wifi will link with either 1 or 2 bars, powerline seems pretty although no way to measure the connection.
Try to get them working well, then try to move them further apart and see how well they work.
@Vaux_2 Thanks for your reply.
Since last week I already had firmware 1.1.3 for V1 decos, this didn't fix the issues over here. The wiring in our house is perfect since we live in a new-built house.
But (!), I found this topic: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/255166 and decided to try out the latest beta firmware. Since this moment (yesterday morning), the 2nd unit has 2 WiFi bars continuously and a stable PLC connection, the 3rd unit has 1 or 2 WiFi bars and a stable PLC connection also. So far so good :)
