@David-TP thanks for your reply. When it's disabled everything works fine. But I would like to having the benifit of it for newer devices while have it disabled for iot network to support older devices, this the request.

  @David-TP 

Recently i added the M4 to my network of (X60, M5), which removed the functionality of choosing "source signal" for the Decos and the "connection preference" for connected clients.

Upgrading the M4 FW to ver.1.7.0 beta build 240307 brought back the for mentioned functions. However after customizing "connection preference" settings for a connected client, and exiting the Deco android app, or after awhile of time has passed, I noticed that the "connection preference' will default back to auto for all the clients.

Hope you guys can take a look into it. 

Already made a support ticket with system logs.

Cheers !

  @David-TP When i put my Deco M4 in AP Mode and when power supply went off and came up or if i reboot my main deco so it takes long time to get ip address and internet connection and same happened on Wireless Mode too

Hi david, thanks for your timely response !

Regarding the satellite Deco "preferred signal source",  once a source signal has been selected, it will stay that way and wont default back to auto, even after a full network reboot. (tested on M5 and M4).

As for your 2nd question, the connection preference for some individual clients were set to the X60 while others to M5. ( btw some devices wont even change their connection to the selected preferred deco to reflect the manual settings.

On a side note, downgrading the M5 FW from 1.7.6eu to 1.7.4eu did not fix the issue.

All changes has been done using  an android 12 device with deco app ver. 3.7.14

Current deco's FW.

X60 - 1.2.0 Build 20231221 Rel 61901

M5 - 1.7. 6 Build 20240305 Rel 38320

M4 - 1.7.0 Build 20240307 Rel. 49485

Kind regards.

*edit: updating deco app to ver. 3.7.22 and clearing cache with same results

  @David-TP When i reboot my all deco's so when wifi is back only port 80 and 443 are working and no internet connection until DNS port 53 not gonna come back.

Are you using a switch ? In my experience, switches that operate on 5 volts rather than 12 volts gave me super strange wiered issues with decos. Like all kind of internet cut outs deco restarting for no reason. And the worst one was the whole network will blackout if i turned off my tv which is connected through ethernet which does not make any sense !!! only after replacing that 5v network switch allllll the wonky stuff stopped. Even Tp-link warns against some network switches that are known to have packet compatibility issues in regards to decos

So make sure you are using a deco "compatible network switch".

Also for some odd reason, i found that main decos ( the one that connects to your modem and then isp) can be very finicky to the point it wont connect to the internet unless using the Ethernet cable it came with.

Lastly, decos hate switching between access point and router mode. After switching modes i recommend resetting the deco and after setting it up make sure to check all minor and advanced options like : Nat forwarding -->SIP ALG

                                     -->UPNP  ...etc.. even though after resetting a deco all the above mention options should be ON by default but in my case defaulted to OFF which can make you scratch the heck out of your head 

I know it doesn't make any sense but thats what happened when i experimented with switching working modes.

Hope that helped somehow.

Cheers

  @Vcaddy I tried everything without switch by direct connection and i have TP-LINK switch and i tried on both switch and direct modem to deco by wired and still same issue on beta firmware 1.7.0 only....I was not facing this issue on 1.6.2
