I recently changed my Deco to Access Point mode because the Parental Controls are so poor and I wanted to make use of Sky Broadband shield settings. However, since doing that the coverage seems to be far worse than it was when I was using it in Wi-Fi Router mode. For example, a previous blackspot I had which was not an issue in Router mode is suddenly a problem now in AP mode.

Also, I'm seeing lots of network drops where my devices just completely lose coverage as if the router has been restarted, when it hasn't.

Is this expected and is there a way of resolving it? I haven't moved the placement of the units or anything like that.

TIA.
