Model: Deco X60  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.5.3

Hi,

 

I have 3 x60 decos and a router. The main deco is connected to the router via Ethernet cable and is configured as an Access Point. It works great.

 

The problem is with the 2 satellites:

- Sat 1 is not very far from the main deco and works great when set in router mode. But when I switch to access point, it disconnects frequently.

 

- Sat 2 is far from main deco and sat1 deco. But it has an Ethernet cable connected directly from the router LAN. I've configured Sat 2 as an Access point as well, but it doesn't show the Ethernet connection and tries to connect to main/Sat 1 decos with very weak signal. I've checked the speed on the Ethernet cable and it is good, no problem with the cable.

 

I've tried re booting all decks and router multiple times. And I have the latest firmware installed. Nothing seems to work.

 

Can someone please help? Thanks!🙏🏽

  @Ananya_deco Are the three Deco part of the same mesh, or did you configure three meshes?

 

They should be configured as a single mesh, and, in that case, you cannot specify the operation mode of each Deco, you can only control the operation mode of the whole mesh.

  @yves_b they're all configured as a single mesh. I assumed it was being done individually but I was wrong.


I couldn't connect more than one deco to the main router directly even in AP mode. It kept disconnecting.

 

I finally bought 2 switches and rerouted the Ethernet to back haul from the main deco and now it's working on Ethernet
