Deco M9 plus wifi connections dropping continuously
Hi,
I bought Deco M9 plus 3-pack one month ago and been generally happy with the equipment and its performace, except one thing: the M9 mesh system wifi connections are dropping continuously.
I have following quite standard setup:
- ISP modem (bridged) --eth--> Main DecoM9 (DHCP, NAT) --eth--> Gigabit switch --eth--> 2nd/3rd DecoM9 (both connected directly to the switch).
- The system is set into Router mode and satellite decos connected to main one via ethernet backhaul. I am having both 2,4+5GHz frequencies selected.
- Wired devices: One PC, Mac and TV connected via ethernet to gigabit switch, PS4 to 3rd Deco's ethernet port
- Wireless devices at home: 2 ipads, 4 iphones, AppleTV, two notebooks, etc.
My problem is that the wifi connection drops often unexpectedly and then all wireless devices lose simultaneously internet connection. These devices can be in different places at home. However, all wired devices are having flawless internet connection at the same time so this cannot be an ISP issue. While the wifi connection goes down, the wifi signal strength shows still 100% in the devices. All Decos have green light when this happens, and the wifi/internet connection returns itself back after some time, typically after a couple of minutes. This can happen multiple times per day, sometimes 2-3 times per hour and while everyone at home in the evenings, it can be very frustrating.
The firmware is latest and I have tried changing AP locations, re-booted them, unplugged/plugged from power, etc. but the issue does not go away. I am a bit helpless at the moment. Is there any idea what could be causing this and how to cure to this erratic behavior?
Thank you very much, appreciate any advice on this.
