1 more tip -> I update the child (slave) node one by one before updating the main M5. This way, the IP addresses of slave units won't be changed by the main unit reboot.

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

Did you setup your M5 as Access Point? If not, you have 2 DHCP servers handling IP assignment!

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

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

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

I'm running M5 1.3.0 Beta Build 20190529 36613 for a week. So far so good. Give it a try. You can find the download link in this tread -> M5 1.3.0 Beta Build 20190529 36613 NOT 70702!!
