Sony Smart TV will not connect
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Something in my Sony TV is preventing it from connecting to the Deco M5 sitting next to it, every other item in the house connects just fine and works great. Just this new Sony TV, it worked fine on the WiFi I replaced with the deco's but now it it sees the network but never connects, I was able to ensure the Deco was fine by plugging in a LAN cable to the TV and the Deco, that connected just fine. I saw in the internet that breaking the WiFi into 2.4 and 5 will let the TV see the fastest and connect to it. Is this logical? My first Deco units

Switching off fast roaming fixed it for me too.
I haven't tried re-enabling it to see if the problem returns.

@ptdarling I got an Ethernet cable and used it to Connect the TV with the nearest m5 unit. I then did "wired" network setup. Problem solved!

@ptdarling I installed an RE200 into the mesh network and then connected the tv to the extended network. This way you can keep fast roaming for the rest of the mesh and still connect the Sony tv.

@ptdarling solution for Bravia smart TV:
0. Forget your network in TV settings
1. In the Deco app under Overview find your TV and hit it
2. Go to its settings (top-right), you will be able to see "Mesh Technology" switch... if not - hit the AP name next to the Linked Deco (e.g. Master Bedroom) and find your TV in the list
3. Switch off the MESH Technology
4. Login/connect to your Deco network from TV
5. N-Joy the sole non-Mesh (no fast roaming) device within your Mesh.
