@budgie29 Thank you for your reply. Do you have both 2,4 ghz as 5 ghz devices in your network? In other words: do the 2,4 ghz devices still work? As that seems to be problematic for some users

Jan, also do not regornize this problem.
I have a netatmo doorbell, nefit easy and some Tuya network lamps, running on 2,4 ghz and 5ghz. But the only thing I have is Ethernet backhaul 3x m5 and one deco m5 wireless connected.
it seems that people running al deco's wireless they have a problem with the 2,4ghz and 5 ghz steering

@Sonic007 thank you. You might be right though. Ik have 4 decos M5 all wired backhaul. I upgraded today (bit the bullet 🙃) to 1.6.0. And ... so far so good! Everything is still working. So now have to wait a couple of days and see how it will hold.

@manni I agree with you. I also bought them in 2018 and they have never had any disruptions. Deco M5 pretty solid device.

No-IP support isn't working. At least not with custom domains. I've tried with my account data (both, email and username) using my custom domains and always get an connection fail. Anyone else?

Please check the following details first:
1. Is the NO-IP hostname showing the current public IP address?
2 . Is the DNS server returning/resolving the right IP address?
There is a troubleshooting guide that might be helpful:

Thank you very much.
Best regards.

knorde Thanks for the update.
When Deco is on AP mode, you could try to set an address reservation on the front main router to get a fixed IP address for Deco.

On The main router DHCP server (pfSense) I've set fixed IP leases for each Deco MAC Address.
Works perfectly, each Deco with an IP Easy to remember.
Best Regards.
Thanks!
