Hi TP-Link Community.

I recently discovered by accident that when the WAN / DSL / Internet connection on my main router drops, the Deco mesh stops working. Deco M5 in AP mode to Keep It Simple.

The WiFi on the main router is still up so I have to tell all the clients connected to the Deco to switch to the main router's WiFi instead.

I didn't think the Deco would be dependent on the WAN side of the router working and I'm struggling to understand the rationale.

Just checking to see if anyone else has noted this.

Thanks.

PS This is an issue because we have flaky WAN (NBN). I have security cameras connected to the mesh. Re-configuring each camera to use a different Wifi is a PITA. It would be great if they could keep operating while the Internet is down.
