Model: Deco X55  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.6.7

This was my second TP-Link mesh system, bought in 2022.  I'm tired of having to optimize every couple of days. How hard could it be to have the system optimize itself?  I'm dumping TP-Link in a few days, never to return.

@Ryan 

 

Any updates on this? 

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

Hi @psg99 

 

Welcome to the community!

 

If your environment is particularly prone to routine Wi-Fi congestion and you would like to "automate" Network Optimization, I'd recommend trying the Reboot Schedule feature — How to configure the Reboot Schedule feature on Deco.

 

Upon reboot, your Deco will restart its Wi-Fi module and check if switching to other channels is needed based on the current wireless environment, effectively achieving the same result as automating Network Optimization.

 

Additionally, from what I understand, an added benefit to rebooting your Decos is that it also helps clear the system's memory/cache, which is a generally recommended troubleshooting step if you're experiencing network anomalies due to environmental factors like Wi-Fi congestion.

 

For example, I have my Decos scheduled to reboot weekly in the very early hours of Sunday morning. I feel like it has helped with keeping some of my more stubborn smart home devices in check.

Thanks for the Reboot schedule link. I had no idea this existed.
