Model: Deco XE75 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.11 Build 20240724

Hello everyone,

 

My Deco XE75 Pros seem to have a ton of problems randomly dropping internet connection. The main node and AP nodes always seemingly show a Green LED. However my devices sometimes indicate no internet access, and this happens several times a day. Sometimes it stabilizes after a reset, but the problem inevitably returns after 20 - 40 minutes.

 

Here’s a summary of my setup and troubleshooting so far:

 

  • Setup Details:

    • Hardware: Deco XE75 Pro (main node and two satellites).
    • Firmware: Updated to the latest available version.
    • Connection: Directly plugged into a modem/router combo.

 

  • Steps Taken:

    1. Hard reset of the entire Deco network -- temporary success, but disconnections resumed.
    2. Switched to AP mode as suggested in other threads -- no improvement.
    3. Disabled features like Beamforming and Fast Roaming -- didn’t resolve device dropouts.
    4. Checked my ISP modem/router for bridge mode settings -- verified it’s correctly configured. No outages reported in the area.
    5. Tried my ISP router AND computer directly connected to media converter -- no problems at all.

 

Recurring issues:

 

  • Disconnections: Smart home and Client devices repeatedly drop off the network and/or off the client list, even on a dedicated IoT band. 
  • Random Node Disconnections: Satellite nodes disconnect and reconnect frequently. Also randomly switches from wired to wireless backhaul for main node connection.
  • Potential Firmware Bugs: Firmware updates don’t appear to address the underlying instability. 

 

Additionally, I’ve noticed the client list often displays incorrect device names or doesn’t update when devices connect or disconnect. This makes managing my network more challenging and troubleshooting harder.

 

I’m wondering if there’s a beta firmware or more advanced troubleshooting steps that TP-Link can provide. I’d also appreciate input from anyone who’s resolved this issue or found a reliable workaround.

 

If TP-Link moderators are reading this, could you please escalate this for investigation? Any detailed guidance or a firmware update would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance for your help! Let’s get this sorted!

Hi, Nice to see you again.

Are the two satellite units directly connected to the main Deco via Etherent cables, or all three Deco units directly to the ISP modem/router combo?

-If it is the latter, May I know the model number of the ISP router?

 

Can I also have the model numbers of the devices that constantly dropped out?

-If they are mainly 2.4GHz smart home devices, I have sent a beta firmware via email and you could check whether this version helps.

 

Thank you very much and best regards.

Thank you for your response.

 

All the satellite units are directly connected to the main Deco via Ethernet cables.

 

The wireless devices experiencing dropouts and Wi-Fi instability are mainly 5GHz devices.

 

The client devices do not seem to remain consistently connected to the closest, assigned or most appropriate Deco unit. Which in theory could be the culprit for unnecessary handoffs and instability in the network. However, network optimization can't be the reason for sudden internet connection loss or WAN port issues, can it?

 

Also, I'd like to point out that I have reduced the network complexity as much as I could. With only a few devices, and features like Fast Roaming, Beamforming, QoS, are remained disabled.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

Have you tried the beta firmware via email?

 

"Network Optimization" will restart the wireless module so Deco can re-evaluate whether the current wireless channels are crowded and need to be changed. It might cause a short-time WiFi outage during the optimization process.

As for the "Connection Preference" for the mobile clients, I wonder if they are more stable when the "Connection Preference" is set to "Auto".

 

By the way, How many online clients you have connected to Deco Mesh?

Is the dedicated IOT network set to "5GHz" only?

Wait for your reply and best regards.
