Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Server Setup:

Windows 10

Connected wireless to Deco M5

 

Client setup: Android 11

Connected wireless to Deco M5 

Can see shared folders on the Windows server

 

Problem :

 

Connect server with ethernet wire directly to Deco M5

The shared folders on the Windows server have become invisible 

 

As long as all devices use WiFi, the shared folders are visible.

As soon as one connects with an ethernet wire, folders not visible. 

 

I have no idea if this is caused by Deco M5 or bad settings in Windows

@papedipupi 

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

Could you please help me check the following information:

1. Can you draw a picture of your whole network setup from the modem to the clients？

2.What is the working mode on the Deco, access point, or wireless router?

3. if the smartphone and windows server connected to the same Deco(leaving the other Decos unplugged), would that make any difference?

4. if you turn off the fast roaming and beam forming on the Deco APP, would that help?

 

Thanks a lot and wait for your reply.

@TP-Link 

 

Deco Operating Mode: ROUTER

 

Red Line : wired connections

Blue Line : wireless connections

 

use wired connection between Slave Deco and Desktop : Android will NOT be able to see the Windows shared folder(s)

use wireless connection between Slave Deco and Desktop : Android will be able to see the Windows shared folder(s)
