Hi  @David-TP 
I am wondering if I can just add a Deco BE85 or Deco BE65 on my current Deco M5 network and make it the primary mesh unit?
I recently finished a garden office, but the insulation makes it a Faraday's cage, making it impossible to reach Wi-fi inside the room. So, I have an ethernet cable going into the structure and need to add a device to my mesh network.

Any update on timing for BE65 PoE release date?  
 

My fault but I have had orange Cat 8 cabling coming out of my ceiling in 2 different parts of my house for 8 months now eagerly anticipating and naively assuming that "coming soon" meant in the next 2 months or so.
 

Thanks in advance for any update.

X50 currently at V1.6.3

X50-Outdoor still at V1.2.8

 

Features of X50/X55 are locked out because X50-Outdoor is added in. 

 

Has TP-Link stopped supporting X50-Outdoor or is it End of Life? Please be honest and don't just give the usual silent treatment to your paying customer, I need to know so that I can implement changes to my system if TP-Link aren't going to upgrade the X50-Outdoor to match the X50 in the near future.

Hi, yes, Deco BE85/65 could work as the main Deco for Deco M5.

Can different Deco models work together?

 

 

@LAKingsFan 

Hi, Not yet, I haven't found any updated news about Deco BE65-POE release details.

 

 

@dturtill 

IoT network is planned for Deco X10 and I'm not sure when the relevant firmware will be released.

 

@SteveWex 

Hi, Sorry for the inconvenience. I've never been informed that Deco X50-Outdoor is EOL so I still think it is an important and the only Deco outdoor model and will receive new firmware updates.

 

 

@JonKong 

Hi, Deco X50/X55_V1 is still one of the few models that supports DOH/DOT. Actually, there hasn't been much feedback on Deco X50/X55_v1 since added, which makes us quite uncertain of user satisfaction with this feature. I guess the engineer might still be very cautious about rolling out it to other models.

  @David-TP I found some issue on the mobile app.

 

I got all working, eventually.
I followed the instructions and added the new BE65 to the existing network, and it worked fine.
Interestingly, it went bananas when I followed the procedure to turn the BE65 into the Main Deco. The network showed in the app that BE65 was not the main Deco, but it still expected the Internet input to come from the M5. So, I got no Internet broadcast when the ISP cable was connected to the B65.


Then, I decided to create a new network, which was always the same result! I started with the BE65, and when I added the M5, the app showed the M5 as the main router. In the process, I created four new networks.
BTW, the app's command to clear the network was not working.

How did I resolve this? I had to remove the phone app, reinstall it, and start the network all over again. That time, it worked nicely. Somehow, the app could not forget the old network configuration and tried to bring it up on every new attempt.

 

Another issue happens in the meantime. After reinstalling the app, I was able to have the network properly configured, but I have no Internet... Something in this process broke my modem DHCP or something else because it could not resolve the IPs anymore, and I had to ask Gigaclear support for that.
