Hi David,

Yes, turning off Mesh for this device in the Deco App improves reliability.
But it shouldn't be this way, right?

I couldn't find any "Mesh Technology"setting in the AX210 card settings, also not in the Device Manager.

There is no guest network here, just an isolated router a couple of rooms away that is not part of the Deco AP Network 

Thanks

  @David-TP another bug spotted on this firmware - nest thermostat keeps going offline and also one my smarthome lights. never had this issue with the deco m5 setup in the same positions using wired backhaul.

seems you need to optimise the network to get it all working again, surely this could be automated. is there a reason why it isn't?

  @David-TP Another bug found with the latest firmware/app

Devices are being renamed

ie: set nest protect smoke detector names for each of the devices, these are being renamed in the app to something else. also done the same for some other devices

please can you sort this out as this deco setup is no good running as router, etc in the current condition it is at.

Hi David,

Turning off mesh for specific devices didn't help, the improvement was momentary.
I'm noticing that my notebook and the WiFi printer (Samsung SCX-3405W) are particularly affected, to the point that I had to connect the printer to a PC through USB which is working as printer server.

On the notebook, when the Deco is disconnected, I open the Windows network settings of the tray and it takes a few seconds for the Deco to show up as available network.

Another person here has a MacBook and I've noticed that also this notebook is connected most of the time to the remote router, not to the Deco system.

Furthermore, my secondary cell phone quite often is not connected to the Deco base which is in the same room (main Deco), it looks for a system that is further away.

Could it be that the main Deco has a problem? Or that there is a problem because it is the main Deco?

Is there an ETA for when there might be an update to v1.2 Deco X50 to allow client connection preference to be selected?  I've just upgraded from M5 to X50 and am already missing this very helpful feature.

Not on mine I'm afraid.  I used to have 4 M5s but I now have 2 X50s, one of which is the main Deco, and 2 M5s.  While I had the 4 M5s, I had the connection preference option, but since swapping in the 2 X50s, that option has disappeared.

I went from 3 x M5 setup to the 3 x X50 setup (currently only 2 plugged in), updated the firmware to v1.1 - performed full reboot of all devices and have the option to set connection preferences for clients. the client mush already be connected to the network and when click on a client there is an option for connection preference. when you go into here you can set the node and speed to connect with.

If you don't have the option try re-applying the firmware and also reboot all units (do full power off / on)

My X50s are hardware version 1.2 and are running on firmware version 1.0.0 Build 20220714 Rel. 55665.  When I try to apply the V1_1.1.0 Build 20221102 firmware, having downloaded and unzipped the file, I get a message effectively telling me it's not applicable to my hardware version.  Any suggestions?
