Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.5.8 Build 20230619 Rel. 48552

I currently reside in the United Kingdom. I have x4 Deco M4 v2.

 

Can anyone advise when connection preference is coming? Because I have all my extra units connection to the main base unit, which is not idea for wifi coverage!

 

Ground Floor

= Main Base Unit

 

First Floor

= Bedroom 1 - furthest distance form Main Base unit

= Bedroom 2 - closest to Main Base Unit

 

Attic

= Another deco, the furtrhest away from livng room!

 

All the decos connect to the Main Base unit! This is not ideal!, see the diagram below!

 

 

Because of this, the Attic and Bedroom1 Units have a weak signal because they are connected to the Main Base unit in the Living room.

- Ideally I want Bedroom 1 and Attic to connect to Bedroom 2 as this is the strongest connection to them and closest!

 

I have performed factory resets!!!

- I have then paired Attic and Bedroom1 to bedroom 1 to (in the same room) - then moved them to the designated rooms, to which they connect to the living room

 

I have also performed reboots on bedroom 1 and attic, however they just connect back to living room!

 

===========

 

From what I read on the internet Connection Preference has been coming out for over 2 years! this is getting beyond a joke.

- So can anyone actually give some ideas as I know M4 V4+ have the option for connection preference,

- It is disgusting to know I have paid hundereds for my setup, to find out you can buy 6v of Deco M4? and sw updates are prioritised for the newer versions

 

I need help!

  @AngryAsianGuy it looks like there's a beta FW available, correct?
