Disable X50/BE25 Easymesh after Firmware 1.8.0 upgrade - wireless mesh backbone broken
Disable X50/BE25 Easymesh after Firmware 1.8.0 upgrade - wireless mesh backbone broken
I have a network mixed of three X50 V1 1.8.0 and three BE25 V1 1.1.7 running in access point mode.
After the latest automatic upgrade of the firmware (both the X50 and BE25 were updated at the same time), the wireless backbone no longer works. All Decos work with wired ethernet backbone, but one X50 is placed in a location where no wired backbone is available. I moved this X50 Deco temporary to a location with ethernet available and then this deco works.
I started playing around and I changed the Main Deco from a BE25 to a X50 to see if that makes a difference. It made no difference. But now I can not switch the Main Deco back from the X50 to the BE25 as I get the error that the BE25 does not support Easymesh and the option to disable Easymesh fails consistently. Nowhere in the settings is an Easymeshoption and I have never used easymesh before. The disable option only appears when you try to change the Main Deco. It is nowhere else available, neither in the App (I use IOS) nor in the web interface.
How do I fix this? I have a broken Deco mesh wireless backbone and can no longer make the BE25 the Main Deco.
I have the suspicion that this is a problem with the X50 1.8.0 firmware. However, downgrade of the firmware is not possible once you have 1.8.0.
Before this latest firmware upgrade, this setup was rock solid.

I ran other tests without solving the problem.
In the end, I tried setting an X50 as the primary unit instead of the BE25.
After doing this, everything worked normally again, even after several test reboots.
Finally, I set the BE25 as the primary unit again, and so far, everything is fine.
This problem arose two days ago after the internet connection was interrupted by the provider for a few hours.
When the connection was restored, the problem arose.
My impression is that when the primary unit is a BE25, the X50 units are not configured correctly or cannot communicate properly with the BE25.
Once reconfigured, using an X50 as the primary unit, everything is stable again, and the BE25 can be restored as the primary unit.
The question is: in this scenario, what will happen if the internet connection is lost again for several hours?
Will the X50s lose their configurations again if the connection is lost?
