Hi, thank you very much for the update.

the main Deco M9 Plus must be connected via an Ethernet cable, so the Deco APP usually doesn't display its Mesh Backhaul type.

 

I noticed you mentioned that:

(The two Ethernets are different powerline networks with TP-Link adapters) 

Do you mean the "Ethernet connections" of satellites 3 and 4 are established with powerline adapters? If yes, can I have the model number of the powerline adapters? 

Will you consistently run into the following issues:

  • Satellite # 3 showed "WiFi Backhaul" on the Deco APP
  • Satellite #2 reported "Offline"
  • Deco APP reported "Can't connect to Deco"

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @David-TP It doesn't matter to where the the other satellites are connected to or not. All my M9 are connected to my main M9 via Ethernet, also all of my m5s are connect through Ethernet except one. my X50-outdoor will never connect to the preferred M9, the closest. All many others here are experiencing. It's just your R&D whom cannot reproduce. It's a pity.

  @David-TP Hi,

 

The powerline models are AV600.

 

The app is inconsistent. Sometimes it reports everything is fine but within a few seconds it then says the main deco isn't working.  Sometimes it reports some of the satellites as not working, but I can click and see connected clients. I emphasise that the wifi appears to be working perfectly now from a user's POV. 

 

I think it is probably a problem with the Decos reporting to the App correctly, which may be a QoS bug.

Hi, thanks for the update.

I don't have any other suggestions now and will wait for the further replies from the engineer to the APP log.

By the way, why do you think it might be a "QoS bug"? Maybe I missed something important, and I can't figure out how they might be related.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @Roccolord 

Hi, thanks for your time and patience.

The good news is that the engineer can reproduce the "Connection Preference" issue in the lab. But I haven't received any workarounds/solutions yet.blush

 

 

@GoldPunchTR , I'm afraid there hasn't been any updated news about Deco M9 Plus_V1. You can subscribe to this post:

Deco Recap- Check What's Currently Going on With Deco

I'll update it here with the latest firmware release news about the Deco firmware upgrade.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @David-TP I could be wrong but my understanding is that QoS packets are used to monitor and manage network traffic and so the Deco app is probably using them to generate its maps and manage the devices. Plus I note that a QoS fix was the only change in the latest firmware update.

 

The wifi continues to work well by the way, the app continues to report that the network is not functioning (apparently incorrectly).

Hi @David-TP

 

Have an X10 and 2 M9Plus Decos in the above configuration. Early this week, there was new firmware released for both devices and they've all been upgraded to the latest firmware version, see images for version number.

 

However, since the upgrade, none of the clients (except two) are showing up in the client's list on the Deco Android app, either on the main all clients list or the individual Deco client list. The clients are connected though, and are getting Internet service as normal.

 

They do show up when connected to the main Deco through the Web interface though, so it's clear the Deco is recognising them.

 

Have tried rebooting and even turning off and on the WiFi on individual clients but they do not display on the client list.

 

Is this a bug in the new firmware and is there a fix for it? Or is it an incompatibility with the Deco Android app quick still be fixed soon?

Notice:

For an inappropriate Signal Source or a Weak Signal on the Satellite Deco after updating Deco M9 Plus to 1.8.1, the following beta version should have it fixed:

  @David-TP This beta solved my problem with the X50-Outdoor not connecting to device set in "Connection Preference" on the X50-Outdoor. Now it connects to the m9 that I have selcted! Thanks a bunch for this!
