Deco M4 firmware not updating to latest build

Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: v1.4.2 build 20200727

Hi 

 

I am in the UK and recently purchased a Deco M4 (3 pack).  I understand that these count as the V2 of the product (I don't know how to confirm that).  

 

I can see that you have released a firmware build  20201009, designed to fix the iOs "weak sucurity" messages.  I would like to update my hardware to use that new firmware but when I go into the app, it reports that my haradware is already running the latest version.  This is clearly not true.  

 

Please tell me how I can fix this?  

 

Thanks,

Hi, please try to manually update the firmware via web interface:

@TP-Link 

 

Thanks for providing the information.  Will I need to connect physically to every one of the 3 units?

 

Why do I need to do this? Why is the app not offering me the correct latest firmware? If you adopt a simplified app based management method you need to maintain it!

@al6000al 

Hi,

It would be best if you could connect the computer via cable to each Deco and update the firmware.

But if there is no Ethernet connection available, it Is ok to update the firmware over wireless connection.

Thanks a lot for your understanding and support.

@al6000al You CAN confirm what version (V1 or V2) of decos you have, It's written on the bottom of the routers.

Just a M4 (2-pack) user who regrets buying it
