Touch devices can’t find SSID using TP Link M4 Deco

[GordonWT]

My Touch's are able to use WPA2-PSK passwords to access a network - I have the Netgear Orbi system & they all connect wirelessly seamlessly.

Yes, the Deco uses WPA2-PSK and so does my existing router which works absolutely fine with the Touch.

Very confusing 🙁

I have a Deco M5 setup and no trouble connecting Squeeze gear (including a Touch and some Radios and Controllers) with both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz active, though I still have WPA-PSK TKIP enabled for some old SB3 and Boom units. Obviously you should be sure not to turn on "Hide this network from Wi-Fi lists", which I just noticed today.

(I have turned off Mesh for older Squeezboxes that don't move around, buy I think you have to associate a device with the Deco before you can change its Mesh setting.)

Right, my bad. I looked it up and the wifi client is wpa_supplicant-0.5.7 which does have support for AES encryption.

Did find a possibly interesting post that hints that TP Link can have issues with older devices: https://community.tp-link.com/en/hom...m/topic/191278

OK. I changed my SSID and now my Touch can see the network and log in. Obviously didn’t like one of the characters I used so I simplified it and it worked 👍

Only problem now is that it can’t find the server on my PC...one step forward etc 🙁

There is no Spotty App to choose and when I click on my music, it tries to find my pc but fails...what on earth?

Firewall on PC let you access the port of LMS?

That’s what I thought it might be but turns out I had to plug my pc into the main Deco. Now all three Touches are working.

I have other network issues now but that’s not for this forum lol

Thanks all for help.
