Deco M4R (2 pack) randomly dropping connection many times a day
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I have FTTH Boadband 500MBPS, using a Fritzbox7350. I have one DecoM4r connected to the FritzBox by Ethernet cable and a second Deco M4r in one of the rooms on the other side of the house.
My connection is usually pretty great at around 180-190 MBPS (Not sure why it isn't closer to 300MBPS Though)
Anyway...very often throughout the day I find that the connection drops on my phone. My wife can be sitting beside me using her phone (same model) and have excellent conenction but I get disconnected. Then other times, my connection is fine and her connection drops and she can't play a Youtube video or instagram reel. This hapens up to 40 times a day.
I sometimes use the network optimization tool and it always tells me that my wi-fi channel is congested but when I use wi-fi analyzer, it shows only 1 network using my Fritzbox channel and my two decos using the other channels
Please suggest how I Can diagnoze the problem.
On the Deco webpage I pulled a report and here are some sample error messages I receive:

Thanks for the feedback.
There are some suggestions for your reference:
1. As for the network optimization issue, please install the beta firmware on this link to have a look:

2. Please turn off the "Mesh Technology" on the mobile phones that randomly dropped the connection.
