Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: Latest

I have 4 Deco M4R devices: living room (wired), bedroom #1 (wifi), bedroom #2 (wired) and garden (wifi), which have been working fine for a long time.

 

However, just this week I started noticing that I can't download large files via my laptop anymore: downloads were interrupted. Today I noticed that during downloads most or sometimes all Deco's dropped offline, and my devices were scanning for networks again.

 

I have 26 devices connected via the Deco's, which has increased the past year. The last time I downloaded large files might be longer ago, but connectivity issues have been noticed multiple times before in the past months via mobile phones already.

 

Why are the Deco's suddenly dropping offline when I put the wifi under load, the Deco's haven't received firmware upgrades for a long time, as they are on the latest version.

 

Kind regards,

Raymond

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

@Raymond175 Is there a particular reason for 2 of the M4s being wired & the other two not wired?

 

What's the hardware version of the M4s? "the Decos haven't received firmware upgrades for a long time" is subjective to the hardware version.

Just a M4 (2-pack) user who regrets buying it
