After rollback 1.7.4 Deco M5 security database update possible. I using Deco M5 as main unit only for it's free antivirus protection. Even it's have IOT network. Deco M5 only drawback is no WPA3 security & WIFI 5 router. Otherwise it's much better router then deco x10. I'm using Deco M5 1.7.8 because it's don't disconnecting 2nd mesh unit.

If I have two M5s, one V3 and one V3.2 is it safe to use the 3.2V firmware to upgrade them both at the same time via the web GUI?
Based on the downloads from website the zip files look identical.

Hi, Thank you very much for the update.
Have you considered switching Deco X10 as the main Deco rather than Deco M5?
As for the security database update time, if possible, could you please help me run a simple test:
- Reverting back to M5(US)V3.2_1.7.4 via the web interface(the process is the same as firmware upgrade) to check whether the security database is up-to-date.
Wait for your reply and best regards.

Installed it using Deco app yesterday, I am in France. Surprisingly French TP-Link firmwares page does not mention this version yet. Everything look fine, by luck Deco selected channel 6 for 2,4 ghz, first time I have a good channel selected.

Hi, Thanks for the update.
The 1.7.8 has mainly optimized the security issue and it is not supposed to change the previous WiFi settings.
Did you use any special chracters as the Wi-Fi SSID and password?
I will also report to the engineers and check whether there will be similar feedback later.
By the way, did the network work well after reconfiguring the Mesh system?
Thank you very much and best regards.
