Model: Deco X5400 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have 1 main Deco unit connected to the modem via ethernet and to 2 "sattelite" units also via ethernet. I've had this system for over 2 years now, but for the last year almost every night, the sattelite units will start blinking red and i lose Internet connectivity. This problem usually resolves by itself after about 10 to 15 minutes and the sattelite units go back to solid green. The main unit is always solid green. I have the latest firmware, I was wondering what could cause this problem. Its become annoying enough now that I plan to replace the entire system with another brand.

If possible try to unhook one of the satellite deco's for say 24 hours and see if the other satellite deco still turns red If it does unhook it and reconnect the 1st deco you disconnected and wait another 24 to see if that one turns red or not If they both still turn red I would try replacing the ethernet cable for each deco and see if the problems persist Keep us up to date on what you find out
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
