Issues with AP Mode with Deco M9+

Hello,

 

Once the Deco M9+ is setup in Access Point, it looks like that the implementation is not complete: Broadcast is not fully functional (conflict with Homekit device registration, CPL management from Devolo).

Also, I noticed that the built-in speedtest provides significant difference (920 Mbit/s in Routeur Mode 600 Mbit/s in AP Mode)

 

I was expecting that the AP mode should allow to see all devices, including broadcast. Ping is ok (nothing is blocked). Coud it be the routing table not fully updated/implemented?

 

Here a simplified network:

  • Fiber Modem with ip 192.168.0.1
    • Main Routeur (Synology RT2600AC) with ip 192.168.1.1 and DHCP
      • Primary CPL (no ip)
        • Secondary CPL with ip 192.168.1.10
          • Computer A with ip 192.168.1.100
          • Computer B with ip 192.168.1.101
      • Deco M9+ Primary (AP Mode)
        • Computer C with ip 192.168.1.102
        • Deco M9+ Secondary
          • Computer D with ip 192.168.1.103
      • Apple TV with 192.168.1.104
      • Computer E with ip 192.168.1.105

 

Ping is ok from all devices. Register a device (homekit based with wifi from Deco) is not allowed/working.

Computer C or D cannot broadcast CPLs. Computer A or B or E can see CPLs

1. Could you give more details regarding CPL?

2. In AP mode, Deco actually works like a range extender and its Devices list only shows devices connected to it directly (wired or wirelessly). Generally it's the job of the Main Router to handle all the clients.

3. As for the speed test issue, seems that Deco choose different speed test servers in different working mode. Thus the result may be different. In AP mode, we recommend to connect a PC to the Ethernet port of the Deco unit, then make a speed test on PC via speedtest.net for comparison.

4. What's the model number of the Homekit device? What kind of error message will it report when failed to set up?
