Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have a Deco network using the 3 pack Deco E4. After a year, I decided to add another one, this time M4. I want to use it as the main Deco router, but it tells me that my password should have an Uppercase, lowercase, number, symbols. Our wifi password is a simple one and would like to stay as it is. I didn't have any problem setting a simple password when I use E4 as my main router. Any workaround for the M4? Thanks

You could try adding the new M4 as a node (not the main) first, then once it is setup and on the app as a node (slave), select to set it as MAIN then switch it over.

 

Done that before and it does the config for you!

 

Just dont wire it in as the MAIN until you have done the switch

Did that, and it worked. Thanks! Makes setting up deco a lot of hassle. 😂
