Hi There, I have 3 Deco E4R's in a mesh. One main unit, and one wired and one wireless connected as well. I have an Airplay receiver, and are having endless issues with the receiver only appearing intermittently as a selectable destination on my iphone, for example when wanting to play Spotify to airplay receiver. When I connect receiver and iphone to a stand-alone fortinet AP, the airplay works fine. I have tried turning on and off IGMP snooping with no success. Please advise?

Hi, welcome to the community.

I noticed you had the Deco E4 for a while. Did this issue start recently?

Please try to disable "Fast Roaming" and "Beamforming" under Deco APP>More>Advanced.

 

By the way, Would it help if there is only the main Deco E4 left in the Mesh system(temporarily power off the satellite Deco units)?

Wait for your reply and best regards.

  @David-TP  Hi David,

 

I tried your advice and turned off "Fast Roaming" and "Beamforming" but with no effect. The airplay receiver and sender are usually connected to the wireless satellite unit. I powered it off, and forced them to connect to the main unit. Now the airplay works fine.

 

However, I really need them to work from the satellite .... what is the cause of this?

 

regards

Markus
