Hi, thank you for the feedback.

Please go to Deco APP>Overview>three lines on the top>help>contact us>suggestions and send us the APP log.

Later our senior engineers will follow up on your case.

And May I know how many online clients are connected to Deco?

@TP-Link Submitted. 

 

There are around 20 clients connected to the Deco.

Since the first post, the "issue unit" led is flashing red. But I am sure that the client in the bedroom is connected to that unit, because my phone and PC not showing in the living room unit, and the speed test is good (should be worse if connected to the other one in the living room)

Hi, if now, the LED started blinking red, the issue got more complicated.

Only the satellite M5 turned blinking red, the main unit is solid green all the time, right?

Would it come back to green automatically for a few seconds?

May I know the model number of your main router?

Would it be any difference to swap the location of the two M5?

Yes, the main unit is solid green all the time.

The satellite keeps blinking in red, not turn to green anymore.

Just tried to reset the satellite unit, the problem persists

My main modem is from ISP which has custom FW I believe. The model is 

Model   H640W
Version   12.02-011122

I will try to swap the unit later when everyone is asleep.

Swap the device, same problem.

Tried reset both of them, now the satellite gets an IP from DHCP but cannot setup (blinking blue led) when wired to the modem.

It can be setup if using wireless backhaul tho

Would it help if we connect the satellite unit via cable to the main Deco unit to set it up?

@TP-Link 

I will try and feedback later.

 

After setup from wireless backhaul, wired in and it works normally for like a minute (app is showing clients and connected to the main unit via ethernet), then reported disconnected on the App, the led is green.
