Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.
Could you please refer to this link to help me submit the APP log:
@MarceloMR Hi, welcome to the community.
Can I have more details about your current issue?
What kind of VPN service do you use, like OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec?
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

Yeah I was surprised because the firmware has been removed from the website. All my M5's have been upgraded to 1.7.0. I even have reconfigured all my IoT devices to new "IoT Network" with different SSID. On Deco app I can see the devices are seem connect and disconnected, but based on my local smokeping apparently they are connected just fine.
But most notable bug is that now I am unable to use Deco app remotely/via internet.
I really hope whoever/whatever team in charge for QA really, really, do their job before releasing the firmware.

Hello @David-TP ,
Since I updated my Deco to this latest version (1.7.0) my VPN connection doesn't work anymore. Could you pls inform how to rollback to the previous one OR when do you expect to release the next version with the needed fix?

@David-TP since I updated my 4 deco M5 to 1.7.0 I experience a lot of devices disconnecting then reconnecting.
I tried to restore settings for these devices (because I disabled mesh and specified where they have to connect which fixed these kind of issue on firmware 1.6) but issue percist.
So yes, I can confirm there are a lot of issues with this firmware, I hop a new firmware will be available soon.

@DeckOh This makes sense for me as I'm also only using them in AP mode.

@Alexandre. Oh, I mean I didn't manually save it in the first place (updated through the app with direct download to the units), so I didn't have the chance to download it as a file before it was pulled

I'm using access point mode, so was not affected by this issue which is why 1.7.0 is working fine for me (and why I wouldn't mind updating my remaining units to 1.7.0 so they all have matching firmware, but I didn't save the file).
Have you checked Recycle Bin and Download folder? That firmware file might still be there.

I assume it was pulled due to an L2TP issue / scenarios where it can't connect to the cloud or check for updates as a result.

I assume/hope that those with a working connection would be able to update from both 1.6.5 and 1.7.0 to the fixed update which hopefully comes out soon, while others might have to update manually when it comes out.
