Deco X20 acting weird after a sudden shutdown after a power outage
I have 2 Deco X20 in a mesh setup. The main deco (Deco 1) is connected to the ISP router while the satelllite/node (Deco 2) is connected to the main deco wirelessly. Unfortunately, the Deco 1 started acting weird after a power fluctuation.
One of the main issues was it resetting itself everytime i reboot it. This happened as soon as power came back and turned itself on. I immediately checked after noticing that the internet was taking a bit too long to return and saw Deco 1 was blinking blue, which has never happened before after similar power fluctuations. It would usually just stay in red then become green after establishing internet connection. I then proceeded to set up my network again which worked fine, until I rebooted it and it proceeded to blink blue again. This happens every reboot now which means I have to do the whole setup again just to access internet.
Another issue is the mesh network not working anymore. After the initial re-setup that I did after the power fluctuation, I noticed that my devices were not connecting to Deco 2 anymore. Deco 2 works fine and doesn't reset itself after a reboot, as it normally should, so I decided to swap Deco 2 (now main) to Deco 1 (now satellite). Deco 1 connects to Deco 2 just fine and I can even ping it from my PC with Command Prompt, but devices still can't connect to Deco 1 despite them being literally beside it. And since it resets itself ater a reboot, what ends up happening is my network acts as if Deco 1 is a new device everytime it reboots, and undoes all my configurations like its designated location (living room, office, etc). It also weirdly still broadcasts its default SSID with no password. So I can connect to Deco 1 using the default SSID that has no password and get internet connection, just not connect to it when in my "mesh network". Simply, it's not "meshing" anymore.
Any hope of fixing this or is this deco bound to the garbage now?
EDIT: reworded power "outage" to power "fluctuation" since it's more appropriate.
@David-TP Hi. I tried your suggested solution and when I try accessing 192.168.0.1 for the firmware upgrade, I'm met with this message on the screen (see screenshot)
I tried uploading the firmware available in the support page for my specific hardware version and got it installed the firmware just fine. However, the same problem still occurs. I tried doing the manual firmware upgrade again, same still happens. Same error message in 192.168.0.1, still resets every reboot, etc.
Another update since i only got my hands on an extra ethernet cable recently.
Devices connected to Deco 1 via wired works just fine as it should be. The problem is the wireless connection. No device can connect to it, even if I force them using the Deco app (setting device to prefer Deco 1 only). The device simply gets disconnected to the wireless connection and won't reconnect unless I set the preference back to auto.
