Deco M9 Plus v2 firmware not possible to update and are missing features compared to v1
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have v2 and the DECO app reports that I have 1.2.10 Build 20190809 54285
On the webpage https://www.tp-link.com/de/support/download/deco-m9-plus/#Firmware however there is a newer 1.2.11 20190926 55727
Why does the DECO report that I have the latest firmware and why cant I upgrade to 1.2.11?
On the other hand what Im really asking for is to get the same features as HW v1 got.
You have release 1.3.0 with lots of new features and it was built in August and Released in October. Why dont we get that for revision v2?
All these things was release on Ocotber for revision v2
Modifications and Bug Fixes:
1. Added support for IPTV bridge mode and custom mode.
2. Added IPv6 firewall rules feature.
3. Added Mesh Technology option.
4. Displayed which client is connected to which deco and which Wi-Fi band.
5. Displayed how Decos are connected to each other.
6. Supported up to 64 entries each for Address Reservation and Port Forwarding.
7. Improved the system stability and fixed some bugs.
Notes:
1. Please update your Deco App to the latest version in order to use new features.
2. If there are other Deco models in your Deco network, you may miss some new features till other models release updates in the near future.

@SD742 I have 3 decos and I updated the beta firmware and I currently have no issues
@avniel well I have installed the deco X20 3 pack and I must say... what a HUGE disappointment. Even with wired backhaul on two of the three units I'm getting no more than 220mbps even beside the units. No matter which unit I connect to I always get the same result. And at 10 feet away it drops to 50mbps. The iPhone 11 Pro with AX wifi sees no more than 50mbps and a ridiculously long ping. Just for reference, we were all getting 350mbps consistently on the AirPort Extreme 6th Gen. (our plan is 300) we could stream 4K on every screen in the house (5 or 6) and not have a single hiccup on the Airport. This deco is a terrible disappointment. I have some more tinkering to do, so I'll check back in here later.
edit: I just unplugged the power from the 3rd farthest deco completely and now I am seeing speeds of 350 all over the house. It seems just one deco left off the Ethernet backhaul degrades the download speeds. With all 3 decos on Ethernet backhaul I am seeing speeds of 350 consistently. Getting the internet package upped to 600 this week. We'll see how it goes and I'll report back.

I can't do mesh with my decos. If they don't release an update I will have to return them.

They won't, check the other topics on this forum. Save yourself a lot of frustration and money by returning them.

It's frustrating, unfair and not what you may expect from a product in this price range. I fully understand people returning their devices but unfortunately for me that's no longer an option :/
At least someone from TP-Link should give us some sort of timeline or expected date of when the firmware would be released. (BTW, I think @Kevin_Z doesn't get enough credit, at least he tries to help us out with beta firmwares etc. he's just an employee trying to do his best, so let's keep it positive)
Don't get me wrong, I want the new firmware as well (trust me, I've been waiting for quite some time now) and I don't really want to install the beta but if there is no definitive timeline, then I'm afraid I have no other option then to upgrade using some shady python tool..
Again, known new features:
- Web UI - Access at http://<MAIN-DECO-IP>:30000 or https://tplinkdeco.net/
- Update the system time
- IP Port forwarding limit from 16 -> 64
- IP Address reserveration limit from 16 -> 64 (or 48 as some report)
- Deco connection details
- Which clients are connected to what deco
- Which deco's are connected to eachother
- Bugfixes:
- NAT / hairpinning is fixed
- Mesh is working
