Model: Deco P9  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

If a Deco becomes disconnected from the "Main Deco", why is it that it continues to advertise the SSID and allow connections from devices? This creates an island of devices that are unable to connect to the network or the internet.

 

Wouldn't it be better, and fitting of a mesh network, that if a Deco doesn't have a connection to the "Main Deco" that it stops advertising the SSID so devices can't connect and disconnects devices already connected to it until it re establishes the connection?

 

The way it is at the moment, if it loses connection it causes all sorts of problems for the devices connected.

Hello, thanks for your suggestions.

 

Sorry that the Deco mesh network currently doesn't work as your request that it will recommend a device to roam when it detects there is no internet. Basically, the Deco mesh network ensures the best connection to all your devices, especially when moving from room to room, it will recommend a device to roam only when the specific Deco signal is not good enough and meet the threshold.

 

However, what you requested is also reasonable and we will feedback to the developer for consideration.

 

Thanks again for your valued suggestions. Good day.
