Issue with Mesh Functionality in Deco X55 Pro Routers
Issue with Mesh Functionality in Deco X55 Pro Routers
I recently purchased two Deco X55 Pro routers, placed on the ground and first floors, expecting seamless connectivity across my home. However, I've encountered an issue where, if my device connects to the ground-floor router, it remains connected to it even when I move closer to the first-floor router. This defeats the purpose of the mesh feature, as my device doesn’t automatically switch to the router with a stronger signal.
Please note that setting a preferred router for each device is not a practical solution for me, as I frequently use my laptop on both floors. Currently, I have to open the Deco app each time and manually switch the connection, which is frustrating and inconvenient.
As a possible workaround, I’m considering setting up these two routers as separate networks to manually switch Wi-Fi from my device. However, I initially chose the Deco X55 Pro specifically for its advertised mesh capabilities, hoping for a smooth, automatic transition between routers. This is not being met, and I am left disappointed.
Please provide a proper solution to address this issue.

Instead of switching the router manually from the Apple phone or laptop, could you not, simply, on the phone or laptop, switch the wifi off then on, to force reconnecting to the closest Deco?

@Ryan So there is no fix. If I want to use deco with a smooth roaming I have to replace all my apple device with device compatable 802.11k /802.11r/802.11v.
OR Replace deco with a normall router and switch router from device as per the convinience.

@Ravish You can easily switch Deco from device when convenient.
If, on your device, you stop and restart the wifi, your device will connect to the closest Deco.
