Model: Deco X55  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.4.1 Build 20231122 Rel. 40485

I'm using two Deco X55 units connected using Ethernet backhaul. The satellite is showing as offline in the app, even though I can access the Internet through it via Ethernet.

 

I've been emailing TP-Link support back and forth for weeks but they haven't been any help and seem to just copy and paste from scripts (I've lost count of the number of times they've told me to reboot/reset things). I guess they've run out of ideas now because they're asking me to RMA the units. The thing is, I've already replaced the satellite once with a spare (there were three units in the box) and it only "fixed" the issue temporarily, so I have no confidence that replacing all of them will solve anything.

 

Does anybody else have any idea what the problem is or how to go about diagnosing the actual underlying cause?

Hi, welcome to the community.

I reviewed the previous ticket record and if possible, could you mind installing the following firmware here to see whether it helped:

Deco X50/X55_V1_1.5.1 Support WireGuard VPN, Client Speed Limit and Fixed WAN Port

 

If the same issue existed, Could you please refer to this link to submit the Deco APP log:

Set up Location on the Deco APP

 

And I saw you mentioned in the email that two Deco X55 are connected via an Ethernet connection. Is there any network switch or the satellite Deco X55 is directly connected to the LAN port on the main Deco X55?

 

Wait for your reply and best regards.

  @David-TP Thanks for replying.

I'll only be able to install it on the main unit, not the satellite that's showing as offline, as AFAIK there's no way for me to access the satellite. Is that okay?

 

Is there any network switch or the satellite Deco X55 is directly connected to the LAN port on the main Deco X55?

 

Nope, it's a direct link.
