Model: Deco P9  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.3

Hello

I have 6 (six) Deco P9 V1/V2 devices connected with wi-fi/plc in AP mode working flawlessly for two years.

 

I've bought 2 (two) more Deco P9 V2 to add additional coverage for the places with bad wi-fi signal.

 

But when I add 1 (one) more Deco P9 to the existing network of 6 (six) Deco P9 - one (random) already connected Deco P9 disconnects (red led on device is lit)

It doesn't matter if add it with PLC backhaul or Ethernet. If 7th Deco P9 connects to the existing Deco network with 6 devices one of the already connected Deco devices disconnects.

 

I'm using latest available firmwares:

Deco P9(EU)_V2_1.1.3_201228

Deco P9(EU)_V1_1.1.3_201228

 

Main unit is V2 revision device.

 

Currently I've created additional standalone Wi-Fi network with these two new Deco P9 devices, but it is not so convenient as with unified mesh network.

 

How to add more than 6 (six) Deco P9 to one mesh network?

Can you provide me with new firmware to fix this issue?

 

Thanks.

Hi, welcome to the community.

We recommend up to 6 units in one Deco Mesh network for most Deco models. (How many Deco units can I add to my Deco mesh network?)

If possible, you could try to connect the two additional Deco P9 via Ethernet cables into the Mesh network.

 

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Hello Thank you for your answer. I've already tried to use Ethernet backhaul, unfortunately only six devices can be connected at once to the mesh network even with Ethernet connection. As soon I connect 7th Deco with Ethernet - one of the existing Deco disconnects from the network (red led) So it seems six Deco P9 is the maximum we can achieve with current firmware netherless it use ethernet or plc backhaul

Could beta firmware fix this?

 

Seems to be just software limitation.
