Hi there,

This post is only to know if more users are in the same situation as me and how do you solved it.

As the tittle say I have more of 100 devices at home connected to my Wifi.... Alexas, all my light switchs (and are a lot), Smart TV´s, like 10 Eufy cameras, Air Conditionings Controllers, Computers, fridge, etc. and I trusted so much in the TP-link brand and I go ahead to buy the Decos 2 X60 (1 is the principal), 3 X55 and 1 X50-Outdoor, all are connected by ethernet only one X60 and the X50-Outdoor are Wifi.

The connection I had in the beggining was one of the X55 connected to the main router (the one that my internet company installed me), then this X55 connected to a TP-Link TL-SG108 switch and then the rest of the Decos connected to the switch.

All was fine but after a months I saw a lot of intermitence in the internet, the Smart TV´s sometimes didn´t have internet, the Eufy cameras impossible to give me image/video in the App, the A/C controllers were offline, etc. so I was sad and frustrated, I don´t remember what firmware version I had installed like one year ago but my Decos were with the last firmware, so I asked so much support with TP-link and we tested like 3 firmwares but the same until I installed the 1.5.3 version and incredible this one was the only one that fixed all my problems, I put the Decos in AP mode and all worked fine like 5-7 months, the only BIG problem was if I had a power cut everything takes like 1 day to connect it again to the internet, so if I had a power cut then all my eufy cameras hadn´t connection after one day, the A/C controllers too and this was crazy but I could live with that but like 2 months ago now I didn´t receive emails at my cellphone, the whatsap messages too and this is a very big problem because I do home office, the only way to push and receive both was to put my cellphone at Airplane Mode and then all arrive to my cellphone.

So one day I decided to talk this with ChatGPT and he (mine is he hehehe) recommended me to buy and install another Router an ASUS RT-AX86U and put it in DMZ mode with the Main Router Skyworth (because I can´t put in Bridge Mode the Skyworth), then to put a X60 as a principal Deco, connect the ASUS router to the Skyworth router, then the Deco X60 to the ASUS router, then the X60 to the TP-Link switch and finally the rest of the Decos connected to the TP-Link switch, leaving the Decos in AP mode and by magic all was working pretty awesome!!!! 

Then I thought maybe now with this configuration I could have all my Decos updated to the last firmware (really if not broken don´t ix it!!! hehe), so I did the upgrade by the APP to the firmware 1.6.1 and then again the problems with my Eufy cameras and AC controllers appears arrrggg!!, so I give a try to the 1.6.7 firmware hoping this one fix my problems, but not, a lot of internet intermitent, disconnection in my Eufy cameras, AC controllers, some other devices a lot of work to connect it to the wifi, etc.

So now I need to return to the 1.5.3 Build 20240523 Rel. 47917 firmware and this post was only to tell you what I suffer, what are my problems and which is the only firmware that worked with me and I really hope that this solve evrything. Which firmware version are you using and is completely working for you?
