@TP-Link When are you planning to release the new firmware?

@TP-Link 

I have more then just one IP network. From my seure network (behind a firewall) I could not update the Deco. I had to move e PC into the Deco network or IP subnet - usually called DMZ network (between Firewall and Internet). My recommendation is to change this behavior. Anyhow now the log messages are there but the CPU is not always at 100%.

@TP-Link I did upgrade form a local file not a cloud update. The main deco has been connected via Ethernet to IP subnet A and I tried to initiate the update via the webinterface from another IP Network B. I had to connect the PC with the local file to IP network B to upgrade successful.

This was posted over a year ago, and still no fix.  To quote your post: "will ask our developers to speed up analyzing it, please be more patient, thanks."  

My question is this: How much patience are you expecting?  Is 13 months enough? 

It sure seems you have zero interest is solving this issue...

Your initial response:

Hello all, sorry to respond late.

For the daemon.err display issue, we have received your feedback and will ask our developers to speed up analyzing it, please be more patient, thanks.

For the CPU shows 100% issue, as far as we can tell it will only appear when you just entered the web UI of the Deco P9 and it will be back normal after a while. This is also forwarded to the engineers and we will update here.

However, neither the daemon.err display issue nor the 100% CPU issue will cause the P9 crash or disconnecting from the internet, so if anyone encounters a disconnection issue with the Deco P9 network, please confirm some basic info so that we can speed up the whole process and offer a solution:

1. Refer to the troubleshooting guide to narrow down the issue and confirm if the whole system is unstable or just the satellite P9 is disconnecting from the main P9:

Unstable connection with Deco

2. What is the detailed network diagram and how Deco P9s connected, is the main P9 a Router or an Access Point? What is the LED status on each Deco P9 when the network disconnects?

3. How often does the disconnection issue happen and how do you make it back to work?

4. Are all clients disconnecting from the network or just some of them? Is the wireless still connected but showing no internet access or it got disconnected from the network? 

Thanks for your cooperation and look forward to your reply.

I've given up. Sad company who treats its cutomers like rubbish.

This will get them one day hopefully.

Still there?

@TP-Link 

This whole thread is about the same issues.  The DECO's go offline for a minute or more and there is no useful information in the logs to explain what has happened.

I originally purchase a 2 DECO M9 mesh and they quickly started going offline repeatedly.  I noticed they seemed to get really warm, so I assumed the problem was because those units don't have any kind of cooling apparatus and they were overheating.  

So, the I returned the M9's and purchased a 3 DECO P9 configuration.  One is my main router, the other two are AP's (one with ethernet backhaul, the other powerline or wireless).  The performance is inconsistent and these units seem to want to go offline at least once a day.  Nothing in the logs explains what is happening.  

The software is very limiting which at first seems great--if it just works and I don't have to be an IT guru to manage my home network, perfect!  

BUT that is not the case.  They don't "just work".  Or at least it seems like there is a real problem with this hardware and TP-Link isn't offering any meaningful solutions.  Send us your log.  Turn off IGMP.  Send us your network map...then silence.  

Users providing technical guidance.  The system can't run with 3 DECO's.  

When I access the web interface, I can sit and watch the CPU use bounce from 5% to 100% with no network activity.  Memory usage at sits at 50% with no activity.  

Fundamentally it appears to me that the CPU is simply underpowered.  

TP-Link needs to provide actual answers (read SOLUTIONS) to these issues or expect returned hardware.
