This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I recently set up a Deco M9 3-pack (V2), and when I go to "Update Deco" in the app it says that my firmware (1.2.12) is up to date when it isn't -- that firmware is 5 months old and there is a newer version 1.2.13. When I download the firmware from the Support site (https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/deco-m9-plus/#Firmware) the instructions say that I should upgrade via Web interface (at either http://tplinkdeco.net/ or my LAN IP address) but there is no Web interface as far as I can tell.
How do I update the firmware?
Follow-on question: In trying to search for this problem I came across release notes from 1.2.12, which says "5. Displayed how Decos are connected to each other." but I can't find this anywhere in the app. How do I access this info? The app really needs to expose more features and information.

@SrDarkWarrior Why would you post a link for something that you're not supposed to use on Deco M9 Plus v2 when that is what the thread topic is specifically referring to?

No, it's not (or no longer) a beta. Although it has the same 'signature' of March, this is the OFFICIAL release from end June (23 officially).
Not yet upgradable via the app though, but on the official websites under 'firmware'.
And because it's not yet via the app, you'll need that upgrade tool, which is also on the official websites.

I know it´s no longer a beta, im talking about an early post i made here, it's on the first page.
The beta that i was talking about has a newer build number than the released firmware, i think they made a mistake on the released version, because on the pdf of the new firmware they speak about a newer update file from june.

Do we have to upgrade each deco unit individually by connecting an Ethernet cable or just the main unit???

I did it by/via just the main, but I have an easy/simple setup: 3 Deco M9 V2's
Others stated (in other threads') that they did it fully wireless (and even being connected via another than the main one ...)
I would go for safe if possible and use an UTP cable and plug in into the main Deco,
but no need to do them all individually.
BTW If you have a mixed set-up (combination of V1 and V2 devices or 'even' M5), other people state there is no need to unplug those. Again, I might not take those chances if not needed (how difficult could it be to temporary unplug the non-V2 devices), but everyone is free to choose for themselves, right ?
Succes.
