Dear All
recently bought Deco P9 and now added the W9970 router as I hoped this would improve functionality. P9 is set as access point.
W9970 auto rebooted every morning at 5 am but router is at least dropping internet once a day.
Please advise if you have a vialble soltuion to fix the issue
Best wishes

Hello，
Please help me to confirm the following information, thank you：
1. What is your network topology? And how many Deco P9 did you have?
2. Did your modem has a stable connection?
3. Did the modem only reboot at 5 am every day, other times are working well?
Please refer to this link to check if you set a reboot schedule, if so, please disable it.
Step: web interface-->Advanced-->System Tools-->Reboot

4. How did you find it has auto reboot? Is it any error information when it auto-reboot?
5. When did this issue happen?
6. When the router drops the Internet connection, what is the LED light status on the router?
7. Will it recover the Internet automatically or need a reboot?
Thank you and have a nice day!

Further to yesterdays response.......
connection issues becoming really frustrating for me trying to work from home and our kids doing school work.
as a last resort I now have configured the W9970 to bridge mode and the Deco p9 to operation mode router.
on a serious note Deco P9 and or W9970 have not provided the stable connections as expected.
If issues remain and cannot be fixed by TP's support I will have not further option to replace equipment from a more reliable manufacturer. Shame funds have to come out of my pocket and you will understand that I will share my experience on reviews and different platforms helping other users not to make the same mistake as I and purchase products from TP.
Kind regards

Hi, for your issue, I would like to confirm something first.
Please don't worry. We will try our best to identify and solve the issue.
Your topology is Modem Router W9970------Deco1-------Deco2-----Deco3(three decos are used as Access Point mode) right?
May I know which line is connected to W9970? Telephone line, right?
The modem Router W9970 has the stable internet connection but the decos don't, right? How can you check?
When the issue happens, the lights' status on the three decos are solid red, right?
You require reboot the modem router W9970 to recover the internet of Deco P9?
Since you said you set auto reboot at 5AM every morning on the W9970 to recover internet.
Now, you have tried to make the W9970 to bridge mode and the Deco P9 to operation mode router. But, the internet is still unstable.
The lights' status on the three Deco P9 is still red?
Please open Deco APP and click on internet icon on APP, then click on the three Decos separately, please send me the whole screenshots of them so that I can check the firmware version, MAC address, signal source of them.
Your reply would be much appreciated.

@Sunny
Any update on this matter as the issue is re occuring on a daily basis.
Problem is connected to the W9970 in bridge mode and requires daily reboot.
This situatioin is no longer acceptable and therefore could you please provide me with the contact details of your complaints department as I wish to escalate this matter.
Should I not hear from you by the end of next week I will automatically conatct the UK Ombusman for their intervention.
