Solution Resolving Limited Accessibility to Google Services on Specific ISP Networks (Starlink and Others)
Hey Everyone,
Recently, we received feedback from several users experiencing frequent difficulties connecting to Google services (e.g., Google Calendar, Gmail, YouTube) while using Deco Mesh Systems on the following ISP networks: Starlink, ISOMEDIA, and Fastel.
Our teams have investigated the causes of these phenomena. If you are affected, please refer to the information and solutions provided below.
Applies to:
Deco BE65/BE63/BE11000_V2.0/2.6
Deco BE25_V1.0/V1.6
Deco BE65 V1.0/V1.6
Phenomenon:
Recently, we received feedback from several users experiencing frequent difficulties connecting to Google services (e.g., Google Calendar, Gmail, YouTube) while using Deco Mesh Systems on the following ISP networks: Starlink, ISOMEDIA, and Fastel.
Upon further troubleshooting, we determined that, in most instances where this phenomenon manifests, the IPv4 WAN subnet mask is configured with a prefix length lower than /16, such as 255.192.0.0 (/10), 255.0.0.0 (/8), or 252.0.0.0 (/6). This configuration is likely contributing to the connectivity issues observed with Google services:

Anyone that wants a quick win i changed my IPV4 WAN Subnet mask to : 255.255.0.0
im sure there are reasons i maybe shouldn't do that but it makes my network actually work so while tp-link push out a fix, i have learned not to hold my breath for that.
im sure as soon as they push out a update to my units it will wip out my config change, but easy enough to fix again.
