IOT devices not able to connect across ALL deco's in mesh network
I have a typical M5 mesh network with one Main M5 unit and 3 satellite M5 units.
The problem is when an IOT device with a fixed/static IP address (manually assigned on device) and outside of the DHCP range connects to one of the (3) satellite M5 units, the other (2), including the MAIN M5 are not able to connect to the device. It's entire connectivity band is limited to only other devices assigned to the same M5 satellite as the IOT device.
For example:
Laptop computer is on M5-2 (satellite)
IOT device on M5-3 (satellite)
-->Laptop will be unable to ping the device.
If, I select "Connection Preference" on app and then for Laptop computer assign it to the same M5 and IOT device (M5-3), THEN and ONLY then will laptop able to ping the IOT device.
So, something is not "Mesh" about the deco M5 Mesh network!
If anyone knows why or has experienced this same failure, please respond.
Thanks..
