Hi, welcome to the community.

Deco in AP mode doesn't support "Configuration Backup" anymore.

As many advanced software features are not available in the AP mode, the supported features in AP mode are very similar among various models. Compared with resetting the hardware completely, it is suggested to reset one of the satellite Decos first, then go to "+" >"replace the main Deco", so it could save the current network configurations.

I'll record this feature request first and keep monitoring whether there will be more users who have the same feedback.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

It is the "Replace Main Deco" on the Deco App, such as the attached picture:

You are right, it is more like a copy from the main Deco to the new Deco.

In the AP mode, each Deco plays the same role and saves similar network settings. "Main Deco" is a more symbolic role, so the APP commands are only forwarded once to the Main unit, from which they are dispatched to others.

Best regards.

Hi, In AP mode, the network settings on the main Deco are the same as those on the satellite Deco, so there is usually no need to back them up again from the satellite Deco.

If I use my 3rd Deco unit (currently not in use) as a temporary "backup", then took it offline (unplugged), does that work? 

 

I don't think it works. "Replace the main unit" needs this Deco to be in setup mode/LED blinking blue( so it can't be configured before).

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
