Find the RESET button at the bottom of the Deco, press it for one second and then release, the LED will turn yellow, then wait for 2 minutes till the LED turns pulsing blue.

2. LED is off

Change another power adapter and power socket to have a try. It could be an issue of the Deco unit, the power adapter or the power socket.

In this case, please ensure you are log into the Deco app with the owner account. If you log in to the Deco app with the manager account, you are unable to add/remove any Deco unit.

2. Failed to connect to XXX (The Wi-Fi name of the Deco network).

1) Disable the VPN program on the phone if there is one.

If you have a VPN connection running on your phone, please disable it temporarily during configuring the Satellite Deco as it will block the communication between the phone and the Deco network.

Some security applications such as Lookout and AdGuard, are working based on VPN as well. In this case, you will need to force to close these applications to avoid any possible problems.

2) Update the Deco app to the latest version.

3) Ensure the phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network of the main Deco.

4) Try on a different phone.
