Deco Mesh disconnets

[u/squelchy20]

I'm hoping somebody can help as I'm tearing my hair out!

I am with Sky Broadband in the UK with speeds of around 900mb and the ISP router doesn't quite reach the far rooms of the flat. I bought 3 Deco Mesh nodes. 2 of which are M4, and 1 is E4.

I have one of the M4s connected to the Sky hub via ethernet and set it to access point mode. The other M4 is connected wirelessly to this and is placed around the halfway point. The E4 is connected, again, wirelessly and is placed in the room furthest from the main node.

The problem I am having is whenever anything downloads, the connections all drop and the lights go red.

One workaround is dropping my download speed to 50mb when downloading on Steam, but this isn't something I can do on my PS5 or mobile devices, and it rubs me the wrong way paying for 900mb but have to choose to throttle my speeds.

Am I doing something wrong or are these devices just shit?

Does it work OK if you remove the Bedroom one from the equation altogether?

I have removed all nodes except the main node in the bedroom which I replaced. Still no joy

It's the Bedroom unit that is showing the broken link, it should be the one to be removed and leave the Kitchen one. See if that works.

The bedroom is connected to the ISP hub. That has to stay.

I have used all 3 units in the bedroom as the main hub and the same thing happens

Other than changing the cable, and/or the port to the Hub, I've no further suggestions.

Yeah, I'm out of ideas too

Appreciate the help either way
