  @TP-Link 

I have 5 deco M5's. Since latest 1.78 update the app reports that one deco is connected over wifi, while all others are connected over ethernet. When i reboot them the one that shows connected over wifi switches to another and the previous one now shows that it's connected over ethernet.

 

In reality they all have an ethernet connection.

 

Anyone seen this before ?

  @TP-Link I tried 1.76 version. In AP mode, there is problem, that main Deco is loosing connectivity couple times per day. Same story with 1.78. I have 3 Deco's, Mesh connections done via ethernet.

Actually there is same issue with both 1.78 and 1.76 versions: Main Deco looses connectivity in AP mode. All Deco's are connected to same subnet (star topology). I set now automatic restarts for Deco's middle of the night.
All these smart dhcp, "fast forward" and beamforming have been disabled.

  @TP-Link 

Upgraded from 1.7.6 to 1.7.8 via app. Router mode. HW version is a mix of 1.0 and 3.2

Almost immediately started loosing nodes that would be reconnected after a while. Both v1 and v3.2 disconnects and reconnects.

Downgraded to 1.7.6, stable again.
