M4 Setup driving me nuts - please assist
Hi,
I purchased a 3-pack of M4s from amazon.de (Germany). For the last couple of weeks I had massive problems with all different kind of devices (Amazon echo dots, Fire TVs, mobile phones, Xbox consoles,smart bulbs etc.) like high pings, connections problems and complete WiFi fails until the M4s were rebooted.
After having the option to schedule a daily (!) reboot the situation got a little bit better, but since using firmware version 1.1.1 got installed via the Deco App the symptoms got worse - again :(
For example multiroom music via two Echo Dots was nearly impossible to do. I am rather familiar with networks etc, tried to disable mesh technology on most of the devices, tried to read and understand the various errors in the logs of the three M4, fooled around with the "IGMP" setting in the WBM of the main M4, forced clints to connect to specific Mesh nodes, tried to reposition the M4 - nothing helped.
Running out of options i decided to downgrade the firmware to 1.1.0 today.
The stability of my connections seems to have improved significantly, the Echo Dot Multiroom group is playing for 2 hours continuously - i have not experienced this for weeks (Insert happy smiley here).
Is there some kind of beta firmware available to further track down possible issues in my setup?
I don't want to get rid of the M4..
Setup:
ISP Router <->(Ethernet)<->Switch <->(Ethernet)-> M4 (Main) <-> (WiFi Backhaul) <-> M4 <-> (WiFi Backhaul) <-> M4
Best regards,
Phil
