Maybe yes , maybe not. It depends of your configuration. My scheduled reboot never worked, i had to power off/on because after the scheduled reboot some devices had problem connecting to the internet . Also if you can check your MTU settings with tcp analyzer "speedguide dot net" if something is red then you have a problem ( as i wrote before it depends on your configuration )

  @TP-Link Is there any estimate or a thread about the same new features in the Deco M4?

  @David-TP seriously, TPLINK should consider hire more engineers. This beta program have FAILED with success! Just signed on first day and was very frustrating. 

 

No reliable software / hardware. 
 

I am open to suggestions for another vendor.

Thank you for the notification.

These two features: signal source and connection preference will be added to Deco M9 plus and Deco M4 as well, which is one thing for sure. But the uncertainty is about the ETA and so far I haven't got updated news yet.

 

RobsonT Thanks for your suggestions.

I see you are still on the first version of 1.6.0 beta-20210818 and I wonder whether you have tried the latest 20220307?

The reasons which caused network instability might vary and I see one user is extremely happy with the firmware, while the others complain a lot. so the firmware upgrade will improve the network stability, but not all of them. So normally, we would love to take cases one by one if users would like to cooperate with us for further troubleshooting.

Currently, if you would like to spend a little more time, it would be highly appreciated if you could send an email to support.forum@tp-link.com with some details.

  • Being able to set a preferred node per device is nice, however your language of "preferred" is incorrect. It will ONLY connect ot that node, and appears to be blacklisted on the others. I see that is says that in small print in the app now. It would be nice to have it actually mean "preferred" vs. "dedicated to."

It is a nice idea and I have consulted the engineers so far they haven't answered and I will update later with further improvement.

  • I scheduled the auto-reboot last night for the first time at 5am. Upon waking up at 7am, I had no internet. Decos were all had green light, but the system simply had no connection to the internet. I tried to reboot the system using the app, and "something went wrong." I power cycled the main Deco to resolve it. Are there logs I can send you?

As far as I know, 1.6.0 beta hasn't made changes to MTU settings and if you didn't have this issue before, it might not be related to MTU.

And you might need to export the log before manually rebooting the Deco via web UI. I will attach more details later in the email and please wait for a moment.

 

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @David-TP 

 

About the MTU on PPPoE, there is defenatly a change in MTU settings on this   beta firmare. 

I had this problem  with all 1.6.0 firmware, reverting back to 1.5.xx corrected the MTU.

I realized that with beta firmware the IKEv2 VPN was lagging so much that made the connection unusable.

Going back to 1.5.XX IKEV2 was working back to normal.

IKEv2 VPN connections are sensitive in wrong MTU  settings.
