Deco P9 Main Unit Stops Responding
I have a Deco network set up according to the image:
Every day, at random times, my network becomes unavailable.
The first symptoms are both Host and Smartphone not able to access the internet.
Sometimes, the internet access is restored without intervention. Other times, I have to turn the main Deco off and on.
During the issue, if I try to ping the Main Deco from the Host (cabled to a P9 satellite, which is cabled to the Main P9), I get:
$ ping 192.168.68.1
PING 192.168.68.1 (192.168.68.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Notice many pings are lost.
Tests I did so far:
- Switch the Deco P9 Main by the Deco P9 Satellite. Same issue.
- Disabled Beamforming on my Deco Wi-Fi. Same issue.
- Disabled Fast Roaming on my Deco Wi-Fi. Same issue.
- Connect my Host directly to an ethernet LAN port in the ISP Router: Internet works fine there.
This makes me think there's an issue on both Deco P9 I have.
In the main Deco P9 logs, at around "Tue Apr 9 13:26" , we can notice:
Tue Apr 9 13:26:06 2024 user.err syslog: Error: ssh_connect: Timeout connecting to 192.168.68.108
Tue Apr 9 13:26:06 2024 user.err syslog: Error: connect
Tue Apr 9 13:26:06 2024 user.err syslog: Error: ssh_connect: Timeout connecting to 192.168.68.105
Tue Apr 9 13:26:06 2024 user.err syslog: Error: connect
Which corresponds to the IP addresses of the two Deco satellites I have, meaning there was indeed some communication error to/from the Main deco.
Please advise.
