Firmware Version: 1.2.5 Build 20231120 Rel 63583

Hi 

 

I recently bought XE 200 and quite frustrated by its performance. I am facing frequent disconnects on 6E. The connection seems stable on 2.4/5ghz. 

 

Here is my setup

1. ER-X as the main router. 

2. Deco's running in Access point mode.

3. Samsung 23+ facing issues while on 6ghz/wifi-6e. The connection is not stable at all.

4. I have ethernet backhaul. Both deco's are connected directly via ethernet cable. The app shows ethernet backhaul correctly.

5. I bought deco for its fast roaming + wifi 6e support. I have verified on s23+ and s24 ultra that 802.11r is disabled only for wifi-6e (6ghz). Same is enabled for other channels.

 

I enabled wifi developer mode on my phone and noted the following 

1. 11.r is disabled when connected to wifi 6e.

2. 11r enabled for 2.4/5ghz 


I have android adb logs that I can share.

 

 

Thanks

Deco Xe200 user

PS: 

I could not find the hardware version in the app.

Hi, welcome to the community.

I found an old post here in the Samsung community:

https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/other-galaxy-s-series/wifi-roaming-issues-on-the-s21-ultra-using-6ghz-bandwidth/td-p/4071732

It has mentioned a similar issue. The issue seems to be that  802.11r is not supported for WPA3 networks and the 6 GHz Wi-Fi of Deco only supports WPA3/WEP.

 

As for the instability issue, did you set the same SSID on 6Ghz Wi-Fi as the main 2.4/5GHz?

Apart from  s23+ and s24 ultra, do you have other 6GHz devices? Would they constantly drop out?

By the way, How often would s23+ and s24 ultra drop out of the 6Ghz Wi-Fi

 

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.

Best regards.
