Model: Deco X50   Deco X10  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.10

Well, someone tell me, isn't this a discrimination? Why is there no support for Deco X50v1.30 on the EN website? There are no new features in it or we are not getting any updates. For almost a year, what is our main fault? Why is there such a difference with V1/160? We have been complaining and are not getting any good results. We should definitely buy it or make sure that such a hardware version is not brought to our country. TP Link should be completely boycotted. 😡😡😡😡 But I bought Deco X10 US version from our country. It supports US/Global/EU firmware. Isn't it strange? TP Link must come out of this discrimination.

It's odd. The whole X50 series appears to be largely ignored by TP-Link whereas the X55 series seems to be first out of the box for firmware and feature upgrades despite it being identical to the X50 (I cannot identify a difference).

 

Buying and fitting an X50-Outdoor Deco means Eco Mode is dropped as it doesn't support it yet.

Buying and fitting an X50-5G loses you Beamforming and EasyMesh compatibility (and probably also doesn't support Eco Mode, who knows).

 

It strikes me there is no set roadmap for firmware and feature updates for the various ranges. The coding team must just be poorly organised by their managers with an "all or nothing" approach to workload. 

 

I occasionally dig out my worthless Deco collection (no one wants my 3 x X55, 2 x X60, 1 x X50-Outdoor and X50-5G, even for free) in the hope things have improved, but sadly I am only deluding myself. I purchased the X50-5G in the hope of replacing my aging Huawei 5G modem and at the same time filling a gap in my setup, but sadly more features disappeared from the app and now I am getting regular internet dropouts for no apparent reason whereas the Huawei sited in exactly the same position as the Deco was always reading the ful 5 bar signal strength. I posted about this on the forum but received no response.

 

Deco products and services regularly disappoint.

These are my observations regarding the challenges associated with firmware management.

The primary issue with the Deco product line involves hardware and firmware fragmentation. For example, the X50 model has five different hardware versions, each requiring separate firmware updates. This situation complicates management across approximately 58 different models within the United States. Additionally, this does not account for models in other countries, which may not be available in the U.S. Currently, TP-Link lacks a standardized update strategy and a unified hardware versioning system, which would facilitate automatic and staged firmware updates (e.g., transitioning from version 1.10.0 to 1.11.0).

I have recommended that the organization establish standardized hardware platforms to streamline firmware updates across all models. This approach would be implemented incrementally until full standardization is achieved. Although this has been discussed internally, no formal approval has been obtained. 

Organizational factors, rather than any form of discrimination, appear to influence these challenges. The size of the engineering team is not explicitly clear; however, moderators such as David, Carl, Ryan, and Riley do not have influence over firmware development schedules or prioritization. The current focus is on bug fixes, security enhancements, and recruiting beta testers. Firmware development remains the primary challenge. Efforts to address these issues are ongoing.

Tagging @David-TP in this post he may be able to provide you with more detail. 

 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1
