I replied to your e-mail.

Also, decos are connected together via wifi.

App says there are 44 clients but then again, i don't think it's accurate. I'm currently pinging one device that's connected and it's showing offline in the deco app.

My 2.4 ghz is not connecting to the internet. I can connect to the wifi but the wifi does not connect to the internet. I have a 3d printer that uses only 2.4 ghz so I am unable to access it to load programs or watch build. I also have other 2.4hz only devices that require internet access.

  @Bloss you probably need to reach out to tplink support. they contacted me after posting this.

Anyway, they had me try a different firmware. So far it works but I still get the random disconnects. I haven't experienced any of this with the Netgear Orbi router. I'm not sure if I just got a bad unit or not.  I'm happy when it works as it's fast but the issues are ruining the experience. Their support is good though. 

  @peekeesh I am having similar issues with my own Deco BE16000 network. After switching from a mesh Orbi system that I had for several years that I had from Costco, I wanted to upgrade to wifi 7. I agree with you 100% that when the Deco works, it is great and fast. However, since purchasing this router and satellites, I experience numerous dropped connections and it is becoming unusable. I have to frequently disconnect from wifi on tablets, phones, and other devices and then reconnect to get connection again. 

Additionally, I have 3 wireless cameras that used to be able to connect and relay video almost flawlessly using my Orbi RBR750 and now these same cameras frequently show offline, can't stream video reliably, etc. 

Because of the unreliability of my BE16000 network, I am seriously contemplating downgrading back to my old system just to have less connection issues. I would probably have returned the BE16000 system but I'm out of the return window at BestBuy. 

If there are any TP-Link support technicians that could contact me or provide some form of assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. I wanted to love this system and I do like the increased speeds, but if it doesn't work most of the time, frankly I feel like I wasted my money and will likely sacrifice speed for reliability.

Hey there, did you get your issue sorted out?

TP Link support had me try a beta firmware, it worked fine but then they released a new firmware a few months ago. I downloaded it, it worked for a few weeks and now I'm experiencing the same disconnecting issue all over again. It's annoying that all our phones won't connect to wifi when we are at home. I mean on IOS, if you open pull down menu, you'll see that the phone is connected to the wifi but it isn't really connected because the 4g/5g icon is showing instead of the wifi icon. When I did my research, they say that when the phone detects issues with the wifi, it uses the cellular data.

Another issue is with my TV, when I turn it on. It shows my wifi's SSID, it's connected but no internet. The IP address isn't within the DCP range at all. In fact, it's like a random ip. I have to disconnect the TV and reconnect it to the wifi to get a new proper IP.

I don't know if this issue is specific to BE16000 or if it exists with BE33000. Felt like money was wasted here.
