This Article Applies to:
All models of Deco

 
Issue Description/Phenomenon:
It's been reported that the Deco may lose Internet connection frequently under the Spectrum network.  The main Deco may turn red, rebooting the Deco or unplugging/plugging the Ethernet cable from the modem could restore the connection. 

 

However, if the connection doesn't recover by power cycling the Deco unless power cycling the Spectrum modem, you're strongly suggested to contact Spectrum to troubleshoot first. On some occasions, the "Online" LED on the Spectrum modem always remains illuminated, while you actually get disconnected from their network.

 

It's also suggested to verify the IP address on the Deco network (Open the Deco App > More > Advanced > IPv4) when the issue happens. If the IPv4 address is all 0.0.0.0, the disconnection might be also caused by the line or modem,  try to contact Spectrum for further assistance.

 

If Spectrum confirms there is nothing wrong on their end or with the modem, please continue to read on.

 

Available Solutions:

  1. If the internet access could be easily restored by power cycling the Deco or Spectrum has confirmed the internet connection is all good from their end, please make sure the Deco firmware is up to date.
  2. Then contact the technical support with the following details:
    • Some screenshots of the IPV4 page before and after the disconnection.
  3. How often would the internet drop out?

@TP-Link The link for the W3600 is pointing to a X60 firmware, is that OK to use?

HI, sorry for the inconvenience, the link has been updated again.

Now it should be the right one for Deco W3600 and please have a check again.

Thank you very much.

@TP-Link I'm having this issue with Deco X20 V2 on Virgin Media in Ireland. I don't see beta software for the V2 her, only V1 and V1.2 is a beta available?

@Kym 

Hi, there is no beta firmware for X20 V2 yet and if possible, please confirm whether you have the following problem:

1. The main Deco keeps blinking red and only power cycling the main Deco or unplugging/plugging the Ethernet cable from the  Virgin modem, the internet connection is restored.

2. You have confirmed with Virgin and the internet connection on their end has no problem at all.

3.How often did this issue repeat?

4.What is the model number of the Virgin media modem?

And later I could forward your case to the senior engineers to request the related firmware.
