Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.7.0

Hey Deco Team !!

 

I'm facing very serious problem on Deco M4 Connection Preferences when I set a device to always connect on that specific Deco like my phone or tablet but when I reboot that specific Deco so my devices refused to connect to WiFi until that specific Deco not gonna come back online. But when the ip address changed automatically after few hours of my devices so the Connection Preferences settings back to AUTO ​​​​all the saved settings gone but the MAC Address still remain same only changing ip addresses creating this issue and even Address Reservation can't help me properly and still devices changed their ip addresses and that's very strange. Kindly fix it as soon as possible. 😭💔

Please & Thank You !! ❤️

  @ARGamingPK1 

Hi, 

Have you tried the following orders to configure Address Reservation:

  • Connect the mobile device via DHCP to the Deco
  • Make sure it shows up in the online list.
  • Enable "Address Reservation" and choose "Select from Client"

In this way, even if the DHCP release time expires, Deco should still assign the same IP to this device.

Please let me know whether it works.

If not, can I have the model number of the mobile devices that didn't respect the Address Reservation settings?

 

 

"When I reboot that specific Deco, my devices refuse to connect to WiFi until that specific Deco not gonna come back online."

-Will you constantly have this issue on some devices? If yes, can I have their model numbers?

-If you manually turn off/on the WLAN on these devices, will they be able to connect to other Deco M4s?

Best regards.

  @David-TP I'm facing this problem on all devices smart phones, laptops, chromecast, tablets and even iot devices and when i turn off/on WLAN so the devices refused to connect to Deco M4's after i set the specific deco for these devices and if that specific deco is offline so the devices refused to connect to any other satellite or main deco until the ip address not gonna changed and YES if i use Address Reservation so the devices refused to connect to any other satellite or main deco if connection preferences set the specific deco and that specific deco is offline so the devices still changed their ip addresses i think Address Reservation could'nt work properly. When i changed the name of devices so the name back to default when the ip address changed. This is Redmi Note 10S and i changed the name now let's see after ip address changed. But the MAC Address still remain same.

 

Please & Thank You !! ❤️
