@David-TP Before downgrading I tried enabling ECO mode on Deco but set to "Power mode - Normal mode". Since then no more disconnects. Could be some bug while ECO mode is disabled on Deco?

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
Since you have 4, I would suggest picking one M5 first and downgrading it back to 1.6.5 via firmware recovery, then connecting the smart lock to this M5 and checking whether it helped with the disconnection and battery drain.
If everything went back to normal, we could consider downgrading the rest of them.
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

I'm experiencing constant disconnects and battery drain with Nuki SmartLock 3.0 Pro since updating my M5 network (4 devices total) to 1.7.1. How do I downgrade to my previous flawlessly working 1.6.5?

@CenterInYou it looks like this update is slowly available via OTA, the best way to update quickly is to download it from TP-Link support and update manually.

@TP-Link any word of when 1.7.1 will be pushed to update via the app in the the US?

I was also able to update successfully using available firmware on the French TP-Link support page.
OTA did not show any update.
I still have more disconnection notifications than I had with 1.6, even after disabling IOT network and put back devices to main network.
Even if it is really better since I disabled IOT network, looks like IOT network can cause some trouble.
A bug I have is disconnection of Chromecast with Google TV 4K when enabling IPv6 (bridge mode) but I did not test with previous versions and I'm going to change my ISP so going to test with the next one which might allow me not to use bridge mode but might allow to have a delecated prefix which could be better IMO.

@xQuantum what's the latest firmware you are using right now? I can see in the UK site it's 1.6.1

I have auto updates turned on so the deco's will download the latest firmware automatically when available but somehow it didn't and was showing 1.7.0 as the lasted build, now successfully download the 1.7.1 build and manually updated each Deco, Thanks tor the heads up, I will keep a eye on the Deco support page for future upgrades instead.
