its the same for me...my most attended feature was related to see the powerline speed to find the best place to positioning decos...at the moment i cannot understand this info

same here, both decos show low wifi as signal source...

@levo 

exactly..and i notice that all the client avoid these “low wifi” decos ( i have 2/4 decos without devices connected, these are the 2 decos with low wifi signal that i would connect with powerline)

Hi @Kevin_Z,

thanks for your reply; i’m no sure about what you said and i’m going to explain the reason:

I’ve all the powerline led on solid green but all my devices avoid to connect to decos with “low wifi signal source” even if the distance is about 15cm; it seems like the decos doesn’t redistribute correctly the connection because it feels a bad wifi signal fron these satellite.

i think that connect a device to 10meters satellite is not a good strategy if there is a setellite in 15centimeters.

this firmware seems to be a really good update but the most important feature (for my opinion) is related to the decos speed connection each other to understand the best position.

thanks

thats my configuration:

4 decos connected only via Wifi and powerline (no ethernet from each other), from the app i can see this configuration:

Study (Main Deco)---> Living Room Deco--->Bedroom Deco 

Study (Main Deco) ---> Terrace Deco (positioned in closed local) 

these are the related connection info from the app:

Study ---> Living Room connected via 2.4/5Ghz Wifi with 1/3 strenght (yellow wifi icon)

Living Room--->Bedroom connected via 2.4/5Ghz Wifi with 2/3 strenght (blue wifi icon)

Study --->Terrace connected via 2.4/5Ghz Wifi with 1/3 strenght (yellow wifi icon)

all the decos have Solid Green led on the power adapter.

from this new firmware i expected the possibility to see how much the powerline "help" the backhaul speed (something like Study--->living room connected via 2.4/5Ghz Wifi with 1/3 strenght (XXMbps) + POWERLINE 3/3 SIGNAL STRENGHT (XXMbps) for a total bandwitch of XXMbps).

assuming that the led green on the power adapter means that the poweline is actually support the backhaul speed (even if is impossible to see from the app), i notice that devices that are distant few centimeters from a slave deco (connected to the Main via 2.4/5Ghz Wifi with 1/3 strenght) avoid to connect to the the slave but they prefer to connect, for example, to the main deco distant 10 meters and with 4 walls between.

let me say the last thing to answer if it affect the actual performance of the Deco mesh network...DECO system works VERY WELL, its a fantastic product and its the product that will give me to choose tp-link again for the future...so thank you, i really appreciate your support and this community.

looks like there is a bigger problem with P7. Me and my friend have exactly the same issues on the new firmware. It was running fine for a month or two. Until a new firmware released. Sometimes p7 works with full speed and low pings 9ms... sometimes ping is 1666ms and speedtest is failing. All is fine when I am 1-2meters close to the antenna. When I move 3-4 metrrs away the problem persist. Reboot will help for 5 minutes. Please fix it asap. We paid a lot of money to have a wifi signal is every part of oir houses and it is malfunctioning. Not nice :(
