M5 firmware v 1.4 BRICKS the Deco M5. Do not update
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Internet down after update!
Emailed, called China (no one picks up) and useless Malysian hotline. They say they are aware the firmware they pushed out Saturday 11 Jan 2020 morning essentially bricks the Deco5 and they have emailed tech in China who have gone home for the weekend. When they return to the office next week, they will start looking at it.
My Maxis 300 mbps now delivers between 0-1 mbps even though when I use the test built into the deco app, is says 300 mbps is available.
Thankfully I had a backup router which works and delivers my 300 mbps but it's a disaster that tpLink push out a defective firmware on the weekend and then turns off the lights in tech support!

@NavarroOne That is excellent news! So if you manually update the Deco through the Web GUI (I know you just stated you updated your main Deco), if you install the 1.4.2 Beta Firmware in the Web GUI does it update ALL units?

@Chika84 Of course, all the decos are updated, that is, the whole system. I have updated and everything works fine.

@Chika84 I only had the main unit on when I updated so the two other remain on the previous firmware but that isn't a problem.
when I switched the other units in, they didn't link up immediately and the LEad flashed red but after a few minutes it switched to green.
after I first updated, the internet was slow for about half an hour with max 50-70 mbps but then I got back to 200 mbps m+ all over the house
