Model: Deco BE11000   Deco XE5300  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: XE: 1.2.0 BE: 1.0.6

I have several networks, I have included the deco models for two different networks.... each network only as 1 model of Deco - each has 3 nodes.

 

When I set them up they had ethernet backhaul from the primary units to the satalite units

 

One has no switches [direct connect] between primary and satalite, one has a switch connected to primary that also includes things like security cameras. [The modem/router from the cable company is plugged directly into the DECO port 1]

 

BOTH NETWORKS WERE WORKING PERFECTLY WELL UP UNTIL A MONTH OR TWO AGO.

 

-------then------

 

WIFI objects (smart switches etc) started falling off the network. if I did a reset they sometimes wouldn't even see the correct network SSIDs of the network. [2.4GHz smart home devices]

 

IF I remove the ethernet backhaul everything works perfectly. If I put the ethernet backhaul back on I get the same symptoms in a few hours.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Was this caused by a firmware update?

 

Is it just me?

 

[EDIT PS] Both network are using wireless backhaul now, the satalites just used the wireless default instead of wired

You observe that on several meshes with several models of Deco?

 

I would try setting up an IoT wifi network on the Deco, perhaps with only 2.4, or with reduced security, and connect the smart devices on that wifi network.

  @yves_b That may mask the problem for those devices,  but doesn't address the root causes, and doesn't prevent it from affecting other things.

Similar issues....spontaneously causing DECO system crashes.  Remove backhaul...all good.

 

Need to reboot modem and switch....but sometimes wont allow more than 3 backhaul + Main devices..wandering on the 3 backhaul units it chooses.

 

Fiberoptic Modem>>>Main BE 110000>>>New TP LINK 10G 5 Port Switch>>>3 BE11000 + 1 X95
