  @Lmsp87  I have just ordered one of these moving over from a Huawei B818 4G router, however it sounds like from this, this router is a risky proposition with all these bugs. Am I best to cancel order and steer clear?  Doesn't seem like a solid fix is in place. Any other solid recommendations? Thanks.

In my opinion, the Deco X50 5G is an extremely risky proposition, and I would cancel the order. I have tried all of the suggestions on this thread without success. I have reverted to using an old 4G router, and use the X50 5G in Access Point mode.

  @C_LH  Wow, thanks, shocking you cant get it going and you are having to use it like that, very frustrating having shelled out for it... OK, I will cancel order on this -  Its a shame as Ive been using a Re450 extender for about 4 years and that has been fabulous with only relatively small losses from the router to the end device connected via the extender.  I had thought of  Huawei 5g but it seems like most of them are used devices and I wanted something new hence ordering this. It does seem like quite a lot of the 5G routers arent very stable. Thanks for the advice...

  @Bob1920 if you want 5G, you should look elsewhere until there's a permanent fix. The 'fixes' proposed in this thread have not solved the issue for me.

@David-TP I shared information earlier on this chain showing how the router switches between 4G and 5G. It's hard to get the logs when the red light issue happens because you literally cannot get back in. I get a message saying "We couldn't find Deco" - see image attached.
