Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

I have changed phones & am simply trying to reconnect the Deco app to the existing WiFi mesh (using 3 x M5s). The app seems to want to set up everything again from scratch and I do not want to break something that's working fine.

 

Any suggestions please?

User error I'm afraid @Kevin_Z . I have two cloud accounts with TP and wasn't able to confirm the correct one until I accessed my old phone to revalidate a working config.

 

Have a good day and many thanks for your support.

@Quiffster 

 

What is the current network topology/diagram?

 

Please ensure that the Deco app is the latest version. 

 

Is there any specific symptom that indicates the app wants to reconfigure it from scratch? 

 

Besides, please ensure that you use the same cloud account after you changed phones. 

 

Please ensure that the firmware of all the 3 Deco M5 is up to date.

 

Good day.

Thanks for the reply @Kevin_Z 

 

App version is 1.9.4 running on Android 9 (Samsung Galaxy s10+).

 

Topology: 1 x M5 connected to Modem, 2 remote with Ethernet backhaul. They were all running the latest firmware before I switched phones. (I will try accessing from my old phone when I get home).

 

Symptom is that having logged in, the app displays a picture of three M5s with the only option to select a button labelled "LET'S BEGIN" (or Log Out). No other options. Nothing to suggest it is aware of an existing live WiFi network.

Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.
