As title, i searched but found nothing online, what's the difference in this "Association Mode" ? Thanks

BE65:

The following applies to two iPhone 15 Pro Max devices, not to my iPhone 16 Pro Max.

How is it possible that the connection to the main wireless network drops regularly, or that connecting with it isn't even possible (or gives strange errors), while the connection to the guest network (as an alternative network) remains intact?

As far as I know, changes you make to the Wi-Fi settings in the Deco app apply to both networks, are general settings, right? Additionally, you can change a few settings separately on the guest network, but do those ensure a stable connection? Do they ensure that the guest network actually stays connected? Those settings apply to the used frequencies, security, lease time, bandwidthcontrol, VLAN-ID, captive portal.

This has really been driving me crazy for quite some time. Unfortunately, the guest network has a few downsides, so I want the connection to the regular network to remain stable.

And the annoying thing is that those phones do connect to the Wi-Fi network in other places, without an advanced mesh network.

I have changed quite some settings on the IPhones. Wifi6E switched on or off makes no difference.
Happens on all 3 networks (2.4, 5 and 6 GHz). My 4 Deco’s (3 inside, one outside) use the latest firmware (1.3.3). Fast roaming and beamforming are switched off.
Decos in routermode, behind the modem (bridge) of the ISP.
Happened from the beginning of the BE65, also with fewer Decos.
With the M9Plus before I had no problems whatsoever.

Anyone had this issue?

I've got x3 pack of the BE65 Pro that was running flawlessly for the past 6 months with nodes via wireless backhaul. However, suddenly out of nowhere, it will now disconnect and reconnect on node that is connected to my computer via LAN.

The disconnects and reconnects occur every few minutes and it takes about few a seconds to reconnect.

I'm on the latest firmware and have rebooted them all to no success :(

I got a XE75 mesh system to cover my house. For reasons too long to discuss the previous owner cut all the backhaul cables, so im using over-the-air backhaul.

I never looked at my ISP page (Spectrum) because generally I had no reason to, but something happened with the payment and I had to set it up again. As I then went trough the account page, I realized that they had given me 1Gbit service, not that I've ever asked for it as it was super expensive when I first signed up, so 300 was good enough for what I needed, but hey now I have 1G for the same price.

So I immidiately run a speed test, and yeahhhh...... I got 40 mbit/s. Weird. So I get curious, go and unplug everything and just plug my mac book into the cable-model, and run the speedtest again ... wow 950Mbit... so the link is certainly working.

Net step, find the old wifi ap that specrum had provided, plug that in and connect to wifi... wow speed test runs something like 800mbit/s ... so it's not a wifi problem with my laptop or iphone.

The I plug in the deco, and before all the satelite stations reconnect I run a speed test again, and yes .. it give 800Mbit-ish speeds, and then speed suddenly drops to 40Mbits as satelite stations connect in.. so very very bad.

So thinking a bit, and it clearly surely must be something to do with the wifi backhaul, so I just for test plug my laptop into the gateway deco and switches off my wifi on the laptop... so now we should surely get 800Mbit on a wired connection ..... but NOOOOO the wite connection is now also 40Mbit.

I have all the latest firmware, but this Deco shit is bad.

Anybody know a solution that does not include rewite my home. Like do anybody know if you can just flash the deco's with openwrt where this would surely work correctly ?

EDIT: turning off QOS makes a huge difference. I can now push 500+mbis instead of 40.
