Deco m5 acting up, can't connect to
My place has very thick walls.
Setup is a total of 11 decos:
- 8 nodes of M5 (3-4 years old)
- 3 nodes of S4. (1-2 years old)
- only 4 of the decos are wired (the main and 3 others. I am unable to connect wires to the other decos due to structural limitations)
I added the S4s around 1-2 years ago because the M5s range just wasn't as good as when it was new and couldn't connect to the other decos anymore. I found the additional s4 nodes solved this back then.
I had no issues until last month, first the guest wifi stopped working. No one could connect to the guest wifi even if all the Decos were updated. I disabled and set up the guest wifi again but no change.
Internet has been slow and gets dropped but would connect again. I turned off the main router and connected it again and there was no change.
Yesterday, I decided to hard reset all the decos. They were generally still working before I did the hard reset but, I can't seem to get 5 of them to work. I tried to hard reset them several times but not all are connecting to the other decos anymore even if they are stil in the same location that used to work. I tried moving it to a new location but they still can't connect to the other decos.
What should I do? Do you think I need more nodes? Is it time to buy replace a few of the old M5s?
