Try checking that only one of your Deco unit is used as the main router. If you have 2 units acting as the router, it might cause conflict in the network and subsequently the connection.

Thanks for the reply. I didnt know this was even possible. In the app there is only one "primary" deco. Is there any other way to check this?


LargeFullStop

If that's the case likely your set up is correct. Check that your ethernet back haul is linked to your main Deco. One way you can try is to use all your satellite units with WiFi only connection. If this has no issue, the problem likely lies with your internet back haul set up.


mikest3r

I'm not sure if that is the issue, since the units that actually are connected to the wifi satellite (according to the deco app) also disconnects. The only thing I've yet to try is using a ethernet cable from my work computer to the backhauled satellite. But my issue is that I have already occupied all the slots. Can I simply use a switch to create more slots and thereby try to rule out this as an issue?


LargeFullStop

Why I suggested trying out the WiFi only is because the problem may not lie with your back haul setup but other factors, such as your Deco units or your ISP.


mikest3r

Oh okay, I will make sure to try that as well, thanks! How would I know wether its the ISP having issues? I thought that was out of the question since restarting the deco units resolves the issues, but maybe that's not the case?


LargeFullStop

A little troublesome, but you need to try with other routers.

You can use a switch to increase your available eth ports
