It's getting really annoying. My BE65 repeatedly stops its activities for about 30 seconds. No connection, no internet, only "--" at every device. Wireless as well as wited devices.
Of course I rebooted the complete network, no effort. It happens quite random, but really offten. Say once every 5 minutes.
Takes some time to reconnect after it. So during surfing, working with apps, nothing happens. Apps keep spinning, progress bar in browser stands still. And than suddenly it all works again.
 
Anyone any idea? Device getting broken? This doesn't work.
 
I'm thinking of changing my main router for another one. But if it isn't necessary, I won't.

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.
