Hey everyone,

Looking for some help with my mesh network. It's the first time I've done any home networking.

I've got 4 Deco X10 set up in AP mode throughout the house. With a TP Link EX220 router into the fibre wall point, in router mode with the WiFi network disabled. My fibre connection is PPoE (not sure if this is relevant).

 

I get a lot of instability on the network throughout the house, especially on phones, my phone goes to "connected no internet", if I disconnect and reconnect it's fine again for a short period of time before doing it again. Doesn't matter if I'm in the same room and connected to a single deco or moving throughout the house. If I revert back to the router only, within range I get no disconnects and a much more stable connection.

 

My PC is ethernet cabled into a Deco on the first floor, which seems to be the most stable platform. Unless I get issues between Decos which happens too.

I'm assuming it's a configuration issue as I've just kind of plugged it all in and changed the Decos to AP, and turned off the main router WiFi.

 

I also tried having just the Deco as router (leaving out the EX220) and then the further Decos connected to that but had similar issues and even more stability / disconnect problems.

 

Can anyone give me some guidance as to what could be causing issues, what settings I should look at/disable?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
