@BenGinders Yea that must be correct as you got 1.4.5 as beta and i got 1.4.4 rev change as beta.

 

If 1.4.5 is working as expected, then i dont think you need an update. 
 

:)

 

THE BEST SOLUTION TO KEEP OUT OF ISSUES IS TO RUN THE DECO IN ACCESS POINT MODE. SO FAR SO GOOD!

 

NB: I find one thing that TPlink doesnt support downgrade of firmwares. But if we load old beta firmware. it will get flashed without error(tried with 1.4.2 from 1.4.4 and it worked)

Ok running in Access point mode can be a workaround - but you will miss a lot of features. -> Make Downgrading firmware possible should be a high prio! Cannot be true that if you experience serious problems, and a previoius firmware was fine - you are stuck for months waiting for a solution. I don't see why this is not supported.

@janoosti I don't see any features marked out in Access point mode.

 

Yes,downgrading should be enabled.

Is the 1.4.5 upgrade available for Deco E4R? I'm using this version and been experiencing the same problem lately.. I checked my firmware version and it's still 1.1.1

@crossdog 

If anyone has tried the access point setup, can you tell me if the random disconnecting still happens?

pros- I am able to get connectivity even if i'm at the very opposite side of the house which was a problem with my old wifi router.  The wifi signal is strong with the deco 5 but that's only when there aren't random disconnections.

 

con - random disconnecting and the deco5 and smartjack or modem has to be restarted a few times a day.
