Can not administrate network with new phone.

3 weeks ago

Model: Deco W2400

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version:

I have a six location mesh network using W2400 AC1200. (also a bridge) My phone died and was replaced using the same sim card. It is almost the same phone but not.

The DECO app thinks this phone has never been on the network before and will not allow me to log in. (no password or user name was saved) It wants me to reset the mesh routers to factory, and start over. It can not find any "DECO" on the network. Is there a fix for this beyond a complete reset which will take all day?

Thanks.

@ronsimpson Did not know but the phone came up with the wrong user name and password.

I used a IP address search tool "Wi-Fi Toolkit" to search all addresses. Found the right number of "M4R" devices. Went to one at 192.168.1.110 and the user name was entered for me. (browser remembered it) That is when I relized the phone was very wrong. I tried passwords until I got close to the max number. Then I tried a second MR4 at .113 and went back throught the list and got a hit on one. Went to the phone and entered the right user name and password.

Back to working. Hope this helps someone.
