This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
For now, I have my Fiber modem as main router and 3 deco M5 as access point to wifi connections. I had to disable deco M5 as main router cause I can't do anything with ipv6 enabled on it, lose connection with Deco App also. I had to factory reset my deco.
Now, I have Deco M5 as access point with ipv4 and ipv6 from telco modem. But I keep having wifi connection lost. If I connect through my telco modem wifi this not happens (i let wifi hidden and with other name just for this kind of problem).
As soon as possible I will try to buy other brand. I don't see anyone complains about basic functions like have ipv4 and ipv6 on local network without navigation issues. And, I am IT professional with 20 years of infastructure knowledge (Sun Servers, SPARC, network, virtualization and so on). So, what the hell happens with Tp-Link firmware??? I know that is not lack of knowledge.

@lfalcao Hi,
I managed to get it to work well by disabling the Use Same Account as IPv4 function. I inserted the login details provided by my ISP both under IPv4 and IPv6. Now connection is stable and does not lose signal or connection to devices.
when using the Use Same Account as IPv4 function, the connection was very unstable and no internet at all.
Kind regards,

@RuiVictor Thank you very much for your update.
I forward your feedback to the senior engineer and he explained that:
When IPV4 and IPV6 shared one PPPoE broadband session, if there is any failure during the IPV6 broadband session, Deco will repeat a broadband session for both IPV4 and IPV6 even IPV4 connection has no issue at all. During this time, you might notice an unstable connection from Deco.
And if you set up a separate PPPoE broadband connection, any failure on IPV6 will not affect the IPV4 connection so even though IPV6 is disconnected, the devices are still able to get internet service via IPV4.
