Only able to use Deco app via wifi, can't connect when I'm away from home

2024-05-02 17:49:16

Model: Deco M9 Plus

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

@TobyTheCat

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.

BT Full fibre 500, 1x X60 V3.2 in router mode and 1 x XE75Pro V2.

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

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

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
