Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:
I'm trying to use a DECO M4 v2 mesh system (updated with the latest firmware) with a Huawei B818-263 LTE modem/router. The DECO system is set to AP mode. The DECO system works perfectly when connected to a ZTE MF286R modem/router. When I connect the DECO system to the Huawei modem, the DECO does not work and shows a solid red LED on. How can I fix it? Has anyone had the same problem?
I need to connect the DECO system to the Huawei router because this has the CA (Carrier Aggregation) and allows a more stable navigation and a connection speed even double that of the ZTE modem

Hi, have you tried to restart Deco M4 once and connect ZTE MF286R to the other Ethernet port on the M4?

 

Did you have a laptop? It is also suggested to connect to laptop to the same port on the ZTE MF286R to test whether there is internet access on the laptop.

 

By the way, what is the current firmware version of your Deco M4?

If you have more than one Deco M4 unit, it is also suggested to reset one of the satellites and connect it directly behind the ZTE MF286R to start a new Mesh network:

Thank you very much.

Wait for your reply.
