Hi @LaurentBourg

 

Why should this be Deco's workflow design issue to resolve?

 

The network is the network. The devices need to change their designs for mesh technology.

 

If I move a device from one room, floor, or building to any place else then it is I and that device that is the changing variable. The Deco did not move.

Guys, I was playing around and found a setting which now helps in connecting to the nearest deco unit "automatically".

Launch Deco App->click on more->go to Advanced Settings->scroll down to Fast Roaming option. It was disabled by default and I enabled it. This has resolved my issue. Give it a shot, I tested this with my mobile and it is working.

Is there a benefit to having 'Fast Roaming' & 'Beam Forming' enabled or should only one option be chosen? I'm having the same issue all everyone else on here. Have the latest update on the M9 Plus but still can't force a wifi device to a specific node.

@TP-Link

When will the firmware be released for the X60 units?
I'm getting an issue where my desktop is connecting to the furthest away Deco...

New firmware for Deco S4 didn't fix the problem.

1.5.0 Build 20210607 Rel. 56436

I will never by any other device from this vendor.

Hi @All  and @TP-Link @tplink

 

I have two x20 Decos (1.1.3 build 20211103 rel 32888) and my WIRED Apple TV is attached to "Linked Deco" at the office witch is on the wireless Mesh. I just cannot make get a DHCP lease from the main Deco it is connected via wired ethernet cable to.

@MarcioS 

Hi, welcome to the community.

Is there any chance that you could start a new thread with the following information:

1. Is your network topology like ISP modem-----<cable>---main Deco X20-----<Wi-Fi>---satellite X20----<cable>----Apple TV?

2. is Apple TV the only device affected?

3. Have you set up any static IP on the TV before?

4. Would there be an error message on the TV?

Moreover, is this Apple TV a normal network TV which does not require an IPTV service subscription, right?

 

Thank you very much.
