Model: Deco S4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I originally created my network , Fam1, and in one of my units, i connected the deco using an ethernet cable to a gaming pc. 
 

Yesterday, the network stopped working so i had to reboot all the units and Deco prompted me to create a new network.

 

New network is Fam2.

 

all deco units are now working well wirelessly. But for some reason, my "gaming" deco, which is connected via ethernet is still seen as Fam1 in my pc - with no internet connection (i connect wirelessly in Fam2, but it is slower).

 

1) how do i remove Fam1 from my deco unit? 

2) how do i get my ethernet cable connection to see Fam2 instead of Fam1?

 

thanks

@Slc524 

Hi, how many networks can you see on this page, fam1, and fam2, or just fam 2?

Except for the Laptop, is there any other device that could detect the fam2?

Would rebooting the laptop and unplugging/unplugging the cable out remove the fam 1 connection?

@TP-Link I can only see Fam2.

 

Fam 1 is gone.

 

It is only when I plug in the deco unit in my game room and does my computer see it as directly connected to Fam1 still. Even if Fam 1 is gone.

 

I've tried the following already:

 

1) Restart the deco unit in the game room.

2) Reset the deco unit in the game room.

3) Remove/Reinstall the ethernet cable in the deco unit and the gaming PC.

 

Nothing. It is still recognizing that deco unit as Fam1.

 

Thanks.
