Deco M5 - No internet on windows device
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi there,
I have had the Deco M5 mesh system in my home for about 8 months now and love it, except... I have one laptop running Windows 10 which is able to connect to the network but not to the internet. The laptop is less than a year old and I have no issues with any other wifi network other than this one.
I had an IT guy take a look at it and he believes the issue is with the Deco system.
All of my other devices are able to access the internet as well as a desktop that I have which runs Windows 10 and uses a wifi card.
The main Deco unit is running a router.
I found a post of a guy who has a similar sounding issue, but there was no resolution in the forum thread. He said he was able to connect using a guest network, which I tried and it works, but this is less than ideal. https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/112219
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Try to setup QoS as standard and remove all the high priority rules.
In the meantime, try to forget the network on your Windows 10 laptop, and disable fast roaming.

Still the same, try to disable 5GHz and enable 2.4GHz only to give it a shot.
May it help and have a nice day.

@ Jonow6 Hello! I was able to solve the problem with windows 10. In the Advanced Menu, there is an option that says Operation Mode. Just change from Router Mode to Access Point. With this, all my windows 10 devices connected wihtout problem. I hope it helps you.

@Jonow6 Hi - I had the same issue with my laptop and used the method you suggested and its worked. Only issue is that none of the parental controls work now - did you find a way of fixing this without using the access point? Ive also had to go onto all Alexas and re add the network. It is working but at a cost :(

@Gussainz Tried it on my Windows 10 laptop and that did the trick: all good now. Before Wi-Fi was regularly dropping or not connecting at all.
