Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.3 Build 20231225 Rel. 60770

Hello all

 

Like the title says, I'm only able to use Deco app via wifi, can't connect when I'm away from home

I use to be able to use the app everywhere, not just connected via my own Deco wifi

 

The error says there's something wrong with the cloud service

 

Cloud error

 

So far I have tried the following:

 

Reset all the Deco units

Reinstalled the app twice on the two different phones (both iPhone)

 

 

As soon as I switch on wifi on my phone and connect to my own Deco wifi network, the app connects and everything works as it have been for years

 

HELP :-)

 

Fred

It could be that you have been signed out of your cloud account therefore it not working out of the house.

 

When on wifi and you are in the app check, top LHS is 3 lines, click on them, then "view account", it might show as logged out or if not maybe log out and back in to refresh the login.

I checked that, I am signed in, I tried signing out and back in again, but that doesn't help either

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

Are you still having this issue now?

If yes, could you please refer to this link to help me submit the APP log:

Is the Deco M9 Plus solid green and working well?

Wait for your reply and best regards.

Hi David,

 

Yes, the issue is persistent, apart from the issue of not being able to use the app when I'm not home, the rest of the system is working perfectly, all leds are green

 

I will submit the app log according to your link, I hope you can see why it's not working

 

Best regards

 

Fred

UPDATE

 

To my huge surprise, this morning during some shopping I gave the app another try, and it worked laugh

I haven't changed any setting at home or in the app, there were no updates, I have no idea why it works now

 

It hadn't worked for months, so I'm happy, but there is a nagging question, why......?

 

Did TP-Link do something ? Perhaps with my account ? Is there anything I can do to keep this working ?

 

For the time being I'm happy that is works

 

Thanks everyone for your support

 

Fred
