Firmware downgrade from 1.2.8 to 1.2.4
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hey ya'll,
I am having many issues after latest FW upgrade (1.2.8) that I related in this post
tl;dr: Some of my devices unable to connect to the network: "No internet connection", some of them are required to re-enter password but it won't work.
Rebooting the main deco will solve it for the next few hours, but all of these issues came like a few days ago.
I want to downgrade the firmware version of both my decos to 1.2.4 as I had when I bought it.
TP-Link is offering the FW version to download but I couldn't find instructions on how to manually install older FW..
Hopefully I will find my answer here.
Thanks!

If possible, disable the router function in your 2-in-1 fiber modem. Let Deco to handle the router function. This way, you can enjoy the anit-virus & parental control functions.
In Access Point mode, Deco loss these value-added functions!

Well since I have a fiber connection, I only have a router which is also a modem I guess. My router is connected directly to the main deco, the other deco (I have 2) is in the living room. So I connected to the Deco Wi-Fi and ran the commands you said and I did see a few networks as the instructions say "192.168.68.X etc.." When I entered all parameters in the upgrade_GDPR and pressed "UPGRADE" it gave me an error NoValidConnectionsError: [Errno None] Unable to connect to port 22 on 192.168.68.103 When I tried different IPs, the program would just stuck for 10 minutes, tried in 2 Windows computers

Well, you have Double NAT in your network. In simple term, there are 2 servers handling the routing function. They don't work well together!

I'm not sure I changed anything, I just plugged in the main M5, ran the onboarding process from the iOS Application, then disabled the main router's (not deco) Wi-Fi

Another possible issue is Firewall is On in your Mac. Turn it off to try the upgrade program again.
