@Jaybird80 If you use the Main Deco into AP Mode so the Satellite Decos will automatcally goes into AP Mode. You don't need to do anything extra.

@David-TP I had this problem on 1.7.0 also and when i forced my phone and tablet to connect to different Deco by using Connection Preference and when i again use AUTO option in Connection Preference...

@Jaybird80 You can use your Deco system into AP Mode and i hope your issue will be fix.

@KrisJ94 Use LAN cable to connect all the Deco units on wired connection for better performance.

HEY TP-LINK !! Sometimes my phone and tablet could'nt switch from one deco to other deco unit immediately and sometimes works fine. My phone is Redmi Note 11 and tablet is Galaxy Tab A7 Lite and also...

@KrisJ94 You can use Ethernet Backhaul for better speed.
