Model: Deco XE5300  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.1.4 build 20220328

All 2.4Ghz only wifi devices such as ring, wyze, and blink cameras dropped after about 1 week of usage.
 

I rebooted the main node and they all came back, did not have to reboot satellites.

 

All 5GHz capable devices such as iPhones, iPads never had issues and speed has improved from my original Orbi RBR50 mesh, this Deco has replaced.

 

I run the 3 Decos as AP only. I have zero issues with wired devices but they are not connected to Deco.

 

The current version of the iPhone app is very limited and can't tell anything that is going on except connected and dropped devices. 
 

The web console has a bit more insight but the logs are cryptic to me:

Try workaround: enable Guest Network, set it as 2.4GHz only, connect all 2.4GHz only wifi devices to Guest Network. For each of 2.4GHz stationary devices, turn off "Mesh" in Deco app.

 

While you are on it, you could also disable 2.4GHz on Main Network. That may improve performance of 5GHz and WiFi 6 capable devices connected to Main Network.
