Hi, when you said"E4 is dead", do you mean it is no longer powered on?

 

If the E4 is still powered on and broadcasts Wi-Fi, when you connected to this Wi-Fi, Deco App should still be able to find the original network.

(Please make sure the 4G mobile data or VPN is disabled during this time)

 

Thank you very much.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
