  Hi @akapal,

 

I think most of the differences you are seeing between the banner/poster options are due to the Software used on different Deco devices namely HomeShield or HomeCare with both using a different supplier backing the software features,

 

- HomeSheild features on the newer Deco and is in conjuction with Avira anti virus... this does not offer a speedtest ran at router level and has alot less features in terms of parental controls and QoS 

 

- HomeCare features on most of the original Deco devices like the M5 or M9 and the equivalent 'E' range.. this is backed by Trend Micro and includes features like the router level speed test and QoS for difference usage types.

 

I do agree that the guest wi-fi settings should appear in the "Wi-Fi Settings".

The banners do look great but I think they could have better more consistent functionality appllied to them.

@David-TP it's crazy that I find this thread after a fortnight of trying several different home network technologies...

 

I live in an old house with loads of solid internal walls, basically rendering WiFi useless, my solution was to use a set of 3 P9 paired with a couple of M5 units. The whole system has been working well until a few weeks ago when the system started sporadically "red lighting", only recovering when a node is power cycled.

 

I tried Linksys Velop, Ubiquity Amplify HD, and ASUS Zenmax Hybrid. None of these systems could match the performance of the P9. I ended up replacing the M5 units with more P9 units... the power line backhaul is my saving grace... I still get red lights sporadically though. Grrr!

 

All of the other manufacturer had far better application feature sets, some of which I can attribute to different hardware features, some which is software, so I'd be keen to see whether there are plans to add to the Deco app feature set? 


Ideally I'd like to be able to:

- see logs of what's caused a "red light" event.

- see the min/max transfer rate between mesh nodes (to help diagnose device placement issues)

- more device information when I tap into a network device (the ip and MAC address isn't enough, I saw other apps that would tell me the device manufacturer, set the device icon to a picture of the device, etc)

- better options for network optimisation (WiFi channel settings and the like) OR a more consistent rollout of the Optimise Network functionality that the M5 has but the P9 doesn't (I guess this might be a device firmware issue)

  @David-TP I tried removing the old Deco and installing the new one. Everything went smoothly until I logged in, at which point the screen turned blank. I tried erasing my data and trying again. Before I logged in, everything was working properly, there's loading screen and agreements until I try click log in and the screen turn blank. My phone is powered by Android 6.0.1

Great UI ... Can we have the actual dBm per client, along with 5 bars? Also is it possible to restrict access to clients with dBm more than (example) -65 ?

  @David-TP I noticed a little bug:

1. Go to plus->Monthly report->Settings

2. Disable it

3. Delete all data reports

4. Leave the app or return to Network tab

5. Go back to Plus->Monthly report

 

The app shows there was an error and allow to retry.

And you can press Retry undefinitly with the same error, logically because there are no report.

Could it be possible to have a simple message specifying monthly reports are disabled and there are no data instead of displaying an error message?

Or if user has no disabled monthlly report but only deleted data, it could be better to display a simple "No available report" and display an error message only if something really gone wrong.

Because there are no error, simply a strange user who want to read data this user has deleted :)

 

I submit it here instead of sending app log because I don't realy think there is something to diagnose but I can send app log if you prefer.
