@Kevin_Z 

Thank you for this Beta version

I faced same issue with my New Deco M5 which I bought and updated after 4 days of usage.

After update there was frequent disconnection and the Internet speed was also very slow.

I am not sure why TP Link is not making it officilal or fixing this issue in the latest build.

I can see this Beta version is from Jan 2020 and its still not official till July 2020.

Glad I found this otherwise Deco M5 would have become a paper weight for me.

The Speed is good like earlier, I will review it for few more days and update if I am facing connection dropouts and any error with this beta version.

@onemoar I went through the struggle of connecting all of three Deco's via an ethernet cable. Guess what: I again experience frequent connection drop-outs as soon as I add the third Deco. That makes me wonder: is there 'any' configuration with three Deco's that works smoothly in the first place?

@Fentanyl 

Try running all the settings in the Advanced tab again after you add any new deco. Probably, you may changed a few settings like Fast Roaming to on, where as it was set to off as default in the new node. So make sure you toggle all the settings again after adding the new nodes. 

Also, some users reported that keeping the nodes in close proximity would cause interference that may drop connection occasionally. Since there is no way to select the channels on the decos yet, they seem to use the same conjested channels all the time. 

Try to keep the number of slave units to the minimum while keeping the coverage still adequate. 

Hope this helps. 

@Fentanyl I have 5 decos on Ethernet backhaul, mix of M4 and M5, no drops, with the latest firmware (M5 1.47 Build 20200725 Rel 63377, M4R 1.4.2 Build 20200727 Rel. 37987)

@coolspot18 Thanks for your response, which made me look into the Ethernet Backhaul configuration.

I'm going change my current configuration:

Hopefully this helps.
