Will there be beta firmware for W3600 and W2400?

My W2400 keeps connecting the the furthest W3600 until I reboot it. Then it connects to the closer deco and my internet speed is great

Sorry, @TP-Link but you are incorrect.

As others have already pointed out and from my own testing.

The devices will _not_ connect in a daisy chain topology.
If the in a string like

A - B - C

if C is too far away from A in order to connect, it will under no circumstances connect to B. It simply can not find the network. 

This is not how the product is advertised.

I hope there is an update in the works to enable this functionality as without it, these devices are not very useful.

I have 3 Deco P9's and a Deco X20.  The P9's would be better off meshing with a hardwired node in the first floor.  Please can I request a beta firmware for P9/X20 V2.  I am very disappointed with current performance, and the way that satelites are connecting to the main deco via WIFI, when the next room has a H/W 1gbps connection that they should daisy chain on.

Hi,

I already post in another thread about this issue... (https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/253374?page=7) but know one responds.

This is my setup:

3xDeco m4
1xDeco m3w

 

I have some devices inside green zone that always having loose wifi connection because won't stop connecting to the main router. Making the deco 2 as main router is not a possible since i have a 4 lte antenna connect to the internet router.

Around the garage i have a few iot shellys that still connecting to the main deco and for that, they still having a poor connection.
It's real important make possible choose the source for every single device, principal for people who has a lot of iot devices like me.
So make this happen asap pls.

Sorry for my poor english (just like yours software )

@TP-Link Hello, I think that the basic functionality that is missing and every one expected is to select the source of the signal in each deco.  Because almost everyone in getting the same result of a deco conecting to the main one that is far away and we have another in the middle that have better signal.

My case is a very simple one that shows that it doesnt make any sanse how this deco conects.  I have a house with 3 floors (500 square foot each).  The main deco is in the first one and I have 1 in the second and another in the third.  The big problem is that the 3rd one always try to conect to the main deco, loosing conections most of the time.  With the last firmware update this became more frustating 1.5.2.  What is the point of geting 3 deco if all want to conect to the main one.

Can you tell me how is the progress o the development for the source picking.  Is there a walkaround to force the 3rd deco to conect to the 2nd one.  I put the 2nd and the 3rd together whith the 2nd connected I reset de 3rd and when this one connected I it did to the 1st one .

@TP-Link Is there a way to manually select/asign the signal source on the DECO-X20 3-PACK, as I have a 2 storey house, and the top story tries to connect to the main Deco that is the furest away, instead on the closest Deco, the top story Deco continually loses it's signal (flashes Red) and does not connect to the closest Deco which is 6mtrs away. Thanks
