There is beta firmware currently in testing that may fix your issue. But we will need to know your hardware version first to make sure the beta firmware will work on your XE75.

 

Can you please confirm your firmware and hardware version by using the directions below.

 

1. Go to http://tplinkdeco.net/ and sign in - use the same password you use to log into the deco app

2. Once your logged in click on Advanced

3, Click on System from the menu on the left 

4, Now click on Firmware Upgrade

 

Take a screenshot of the information on this page and reply back to this post with it 

 

Thanks.

Glad you got it working. The beta adds the following to your deco if you decide you want to help us test it. We will just need your hardware version to confirm your deco can use it.
