Been running a 4 disc premium setup for a few months. 5th disc arrived today, followed setup instructions, new disc was solid red, hit the wps button and it and the main disc start flashing green. Get error Setup-042. Try same process 3 time same error.
Advice on here said to hardwire the new disc which I did and it came on solid blue instead of red. Tried the add new disc flow again but same result. Then factory reset the new disc while hard wired, again as per here. Both it and the main disc went purple.
After this the app thinks the network has never been setup, then asks me for admin password and to switch off all other discs.
Delete and reinstall app, same result
Tbh every time I’ve had issues with the system it’s been a pain to get it going again. Any advice please, I’ve spent hundreds of pounds on this and it’s so flaky.
Ran Apple network with extender before this and none of these issues, none of this inability to see what’s really going on, sadly they don’t make those devices any more.
Do I really have to switch all the discs off and go through rebuilding the whole mesh again, potentially losing all the device groupings etc? Family zooms happening and tomorrow morning it’s work from home and can’t risk the network being down.
