@Kevin_Z

 

TP-Link? Kevin? Are you still here? People are returning their TP-link devices... thats not good. Please step up and communicate the software plan.

@Robert_M I had the X60 and X20 3 packs pre-ordered for myself and a p9 3 pack system on order for a friend and after reading all the posts here I immediately cancelled all the orders.   I cannot risk spending over a thousand dollars only to be disappointed as many others have.  I can't express how grateful I am that you all shared your experiences for others to be advised.  I will instead be putting my money into a company that values rapid and fluid innovation and listens to their customers.

*start of rant* question below @Kevin_Z 

I just bought the M9+ and must say I'm extremly dissapointed in the software, it can not even do basic settings a 20 euro router can.

I cannot recommend anyone who knows what an IP adress is to buy this.

 

Feels more like i got ripped off from an AliExpress seller, but the reality is this is an actual TPLINK product of 130 euros a piece.

I'm kicking myself I didn't better research this product as I'm extremly dissatisfied.

 

*end of rant*

 

on to my question

 

I was able to get the webui working with the firmware in #149 but with a dodgy app to 'upgrade' to a BETA firmware.. which still only offers very basic functionalities.

I've found no way online to find updates to this BETA firmware? Only the links posted by third parties on this forum?
 

Does anyone know an official source/webpage to find updates to the BETA program?

A big issue is you can't change the time zone so if you want to use parent control bed time you SOL

Honestly I’m not sure yet. I’m waiting to see if anyone else has success with firmware upgrades here. But I’m looking at the Orbi plus, among a few other AX systems

@avniel I have not purchased any deco system yet.  I had purchased for myself and a friend but found this forum too late.  I cancelled the orders.  Judging from the issues here I can't risk buying from this company.  Also I assumed this was an American company which it is not, which raises a lot of trust issues for me.

@avniel I may go ahead and purchase 3 of these systems to test them thoroughly and write in depth reviews on my findings. Being an Amazon Vine reviewer, it would have been nice if they could have sent me a few systems like this to review... But I may purchase the X20, X60 and P9, test them out and return if needed.  Either way there will be thorough reviews on each system I try.
