@David-TP 

 

Hi David, I don't have that option, at least in the version of the app that is currently available on iOS in Australia. This is from the app on a Mac, but its was the identical version on my phone, and it had just received the app update from 4 days ago this morning.
 

 

After extensive hunting through the forum, I found a solution in the form of the the update Deco TestFlight app which has the functionality to reenable it, so it's fixed and I've provided the feedback back to TPLink support on what I did.

 

Bit disappointed overall with tech support except from you at this point - the two I spoke to didn't believe me, and the online chat was adamant it wasn't possible that I'd seen what I'd seen despite describing almost exactly what it was.
 

Would be interested to know what version of the app you've sent the image of, as I have version 2.14.24 and that's the latest available outside of TestFlight.

 

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly with a response even if it didn't turn out to work.

  @David-TP Ah! Amazing! You are 100% correct. That's about the only thing I didn't think to click as I was frantically trying to fix my screw up today because it didn't look clickable. Weird the other tech support didn't know this was a thing.

 

The follow up question though - I turned off "automatic switching between channel width" which was part of the notification I got this morning. Is there anywhere to turn that back on?

 

Legend, thank you!

  @David-TP Are you still able to configure with the updated app?

It seems my DECO's are for the US region, however, I live in AU.  I am stuck on channel 40 and 2 5G/2.4G respectively...

  @thomas- 

 

Running latest TestFlight App Version 3.0.46 (496)

  @Dissing I really wish I found this thread before buying X60 x 3 units of this for $300+, a such a simple thing as changing your channel is not part of this and I was so close to Orbi, I stupidly enough didn't do my research about the channels because I just expected such expensive hardware would obviously have a very easy click in an app to change channel just like my oldest of routers that are ancient. Orbi has it

It's 2023, it's still not here, this thread started in 2020, it tells me its not coming. 

 

 

TP Link have made it pretty clear that there is no intention to add the change channel facility. Whether my Deco's band selection algorithm got better - my background interference levels changed - or some other factor came into play I cannot say for sure - BUT the number of times the wifi 'plays up' has massively diminished over the last 12 months, to the point that I cannot remember the last time it happened.. Again this is probably not related in any way at all but a couple of 5G telecom masts have been erected quite nearby.... perhaps 5G is actually good. Overall I don't regret the purchase of the Deco mesh units - especially now that they are better behaved.

  @David-TP wooow! Heavy stuff!

thx for a thorough explanation.

 

I see, this article is really old. 

I'm a new Deco user and faced this problem with changing channels.

 

However, why don't you allow users to choose whether they use automatic or manual channel selection?

And add this explanation of yours to the manual.... like it's at your own risk!

At least users will be happy to be able to make a choice.

Because TP-Link only is interested in selling Garbage and give two updates for one Product and then it will get EOL. I still have hope to find openwrt image for x60 and update then nobody want‘s to buy mine x60
