I also have an X20 that is now permanently stuck with a solid yellow light and cannot be linked to my main unit.
I have tried the firmware recovery procedure many times now with no positive result. The light just continuously stays yellow.

@TP-Link Did anyone get the yellow light to flashing blue resolved on the x20 Deco ?
I can't bring up the 192.168.0.1 when trying the Uboot method.
There seems to be common thread going on here with these devices.

This issue is still not resolved for me.
Probably better to contact TP-Link via other ways, since they do not reply or comment on this thread.

Hi, if the hardware reset doesn't make any difference and it can't get into firmware recovery mode either, It is suggested to contact the shop retailer/local technical support for warranty service.
Best regards.

@TP-Link I also have issue with the BRICK YELLOW LIGHT on one of the deco unit. I cannot use it and even if I already reset it couple of times, I still can't make it to have the flashing blue light.
