  @David-TP Can I configure my 2 Deco M4 units to utilize different channels when employing wired backhaul, thus preventing interference? One serves as the main router, and the other acts as a satellite connected via an Ethernet cable.

Hi, I'm afraid Deco doesn't allow manually selecting the wireless channels. So far, the satellite Mesh units use the same wireless channel as the main unit.

Best regards.

Tested various miscellaneous ways to make the client " connection preference " settings to stick, but no joy. 

 

Clients will randomly reset their preferences, although they stay connected to whatever deco was selected before they reset.

 

Btw where does the client " connection preference " settings get saved to exactly ? The mobile deco app ? Or on the deco itself ? 

 

Regards.

  @David-TP 

 

I just updated all my 3 x M4r V2 to this firmware (from 1.6.2 Build 20240308 Rel. 55841), as I've had serious connection problems. It didn't do much difference, so I decided to factory reset my main Deco. I also isolated the rest of the network, so now it's only ROUTER - DECO with wire, no other devices on the LAN. And all other Decos are powered off.

 

1. Deco flashing blue, OK

2. New Wifi Deco_57CC visible

3. Deco app cannot find the Deco, even when Deco_57CC manually connected

 

I tried with PC and Deco_57CC gives me IP of 192.168.68.100 and Deco sits in 192.168.68.1. I can access the Webui, but it only says "Download TP-Link app....".

 

So is that new firmware preventing that Deco initial setup somehow?

 

EDIT: This is my other post about connection issues with my Mesh: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/666110

  Replying to myself:

 

I managed to connect o my resetted Deco. I shut down Deco & mobile phone few times and lastly disable Mobile Data from phone. No idea which of these made the trick, but now it's back up and running.

For some reason, when I activated my IoT network with old name & psw for 30 clients or so (mostly ESP, Sonoff, Tuya), the whole network became unstable again. Traffic is quite low from any IoT device, 1-50kbs. Speedtest takes like 10 secs before anything happens and some PING packets get lost. It differs from time to time.

 

- What could cause this kind of issue?

@Dhiman1994 Deco E4 (V4) already supports it, no idea about other hardware versions

Just a M4 (2-pack) user who regrets buying it
