Experience with WiFi connected phones and tablets on Main WiFi SSID
- 20-70% Packet loss loading internet web pages
- 20-70% Packet loss pinging the WAN IP from any WiFi client connected to the Main WiFi SSID
- No packet loss on pinging the TP-Link internal LAN gateway
- No Packet loss on pinging other Deco IP's
- No packet loss pinging between Wifi or cabled LAN clients
Experience with cabled LAN clients, and Guest WiFi clients
- No Packet loss on loading internet web pages
- No Packet loss on pinging the WAN IP of the main Deco, connected to the ISP.
- No packet loss on pinging the TP-Link internal LAN gateway
- No Packet loss on pinging other Deco IP's

Conclusion:
- Only packet loss between Main WiFi clients towards the internet.
- Ruling out the internal LAN cabled network
- Ruling out DNS, as it is tested with ICMP / ping.
- Ruling out Radio quality, as clients can ping each other perfect, and the Guest WiFi clients don't have an issue
- Ruling out the ISP, as all LAN cabled connections connect fine towards the internet.
All devices have been powered off, on, reset and have the latests software version.
I can't tell exactly when the issue started. This could be 2 days, or even a week.
The hardware version of the M5 pack I bought is a guess. It has the early USB-C power connector. There is no version mentioned on the backside/sticker of the radio.
