Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.4.3 Build 20200921 Rel. 42500

I recently installed three M9 Plus units to replace my Virgin "Smart"hub and had a seemless start. I have a number of Hue Lightbulbs and had the Hue Bridge plugged into the main Deco unit. Due to only having two ports on the unit, I needed to use one for the Virgin ethernet connection, so I moved the Hue Bridge onto another Deco unit upstairs.

 

Since doing this, both the Hue app and Apple Homekit app (which I mostly use to control the lights) have struggled to find the bridge and bulbs. It will eventually find them but it can take a number of minutes or need the wifi turning on and off. 

 

Any ideas? Weirdly it seems to be continuning to work fine on my wife's iphone

 

Cheers

Hi,

Did you still have the same issue with Hue Lightbulbs?

Did Deco M9 plus work as the router or access point mode?

If it is on the access point mode, please update the following firmware to have a look:
