Note:
1. It is recommended that all Decos in the network be upgraded to beta firmware.
2. Please also check whether there is a firmware update for the Tapo device in the Tapo APP. If so, please update the Tapo device to the latest firmware.
3. How to update the satellite Deco units:
When the satellite Decos are offline, they may not be successfully upgraded through the Web UI. In this case, it is recommended to upgrade according to the following steps:
- Please temporarily power off most of the smart home devices and wait for the satellite Deco come back online.
- Once all the satellite Deco units are confirmed online, try upgrading to the beta firmware again through the Web UI.
-If the main Deco and satellite Deco units are on different models, you could also update the satellite units individually through its IP address.
- After ensuring that all Deco units have been successfully upgraded, power on the Tapo devices again and observe if the issue is resolved.
Hi, have you considered connecting 2~3 satellite Deco M4 units via Ethernet cables, instead of establishing a pure WiFi Mesh network?
Or have you tried to reduce the Deco units to about 3 units, if they could already cover the whole house?
The last time you reported this issue was about 2-3 weeks ago. With this frequency, it is more due to a temporary CPU/Memory overload on the main unit. It is also suggested to set a reboot schedule, maybe once per week.
Best regards.
