It may be really annoying if your Deco keeps going offline, particularly if you depend on a steady internet connection for smart home gadgets work streaming or gaming.
- There are several possible causes for this problem and a methodical approach is necessary to diagnose it.
- First make sure the modem is connected to your primary Deco unit.
- An Ethernet cable should be used to link the main Deco node to your modem.
- Dropouts will occur throughout your Deco network if this connection is erratic or flawed.
- To rule out physical connection problems try a new Ethernet cable or a different port on the modem.
- Next, think about ISP issues. In such cases your ISP’s intermittent outages or uneven speeds—rather than Deco—are the issue.
- When your Deco is online, run a speed test and compare the results to the speeds you anticipate from your internet service.
- It could be required to get in touch with your ISP if there are regular slowdowns or outages.
- Deco devices may also regularly go down due to interference and positioning problems.
- Make sure that the Deco nodes are spaced equally around the house away from obstructions like thick wall appliances or other electronics that can interfere with the signal. Wi-Fi signals can be weakened by large furniture reflections and even microwaves.
- Overwhelming network traffic is another possible offender.
- Your Deco system may not be able to manage the strain if several devices are downloading huge files playing online games or streaming in 4K at the same time which might cause sporadic disconnects.
- To see whether the issue gets better try unplugging any unnecessary gadgets.
- Stability difficulties might also be caused by obsolete Deco software or firmware issues.
- Install any firmware upgrades that are available after checking the Deco app for updates.
- Connectivity problems, defects and security flaws might result from outdated firmware.
- If the issue arose after a recent upgrade try going back to an earlier version if at all feasible.
- A double NAT conflict can be happening if your Deco system is running in router mode rather than access point mode and your ISP modem has router features as well.
- In particular if the Deco system and the ISP modem are both assigning IP addresses this may result in erratic connectivity.
- The problem could be fixed by switching Deco to access point mode (via the app settings).
