@TP-Link Anyone else run into an issue with the auto-reboot on 1.61 periodically failing and requiring a manual reset? This doesn't happen every time, but I have my system set to reboot daily, 5am, and at least once a week, the only Deco that comes back online is the main with all aux deco's offline. Rebooting the network in the app will get things going again BUT only a manual power cycle will prevent it from happening repeatedly day after day.

  @TP-Link I've already updated the firmware of all Deco in the network but when I go to the APP>CLIENTS>SELECTED CLIENT, there was no gear icon on the upper right corner. Can you let me know how I can I make this show so I can choose the preferred deco to connect to? 

Thank you.

Hello,
after some tests it seems to be the iOS "private wi-fi address" that constantly changes the MAC address of the connected iOS devices. There is a similar approach in Android devices. I didn't search extensively about the issue to understand when the device changes the MAC address but when it connects to another network like the guest network, it sure changes address.

Disabling the "private wi-fi address" in the settings, under the connected wifi network info, does solve the issue, fixing the original MAC address of the device's wifi interface.

This is a problem that I do not see how can be solved, as the child - object of the parental control - can easily change this configuration, returning to private MAC, eliminating the parental control completely.

Hello,
It seems that the Parental Control is not working for the Guest Network. I have a profile with some devices set to the main network and it works ok but if one of the devices connects to the Guest network the parental control does not work at all. Is this a bug? If not, how can I apply parental control to the guest network? I'm using Deco M5 with 1.6.1.

there 1.61 firmware is working well for me for some weeks now. 

any chance we could see a scheduled optimise function as I regularly have to optimise due to network conditions. Unfortunately scheduled reboot almost always results in a network that is not optimised and I have manually optimise after a reboot. 
 

  @TP-Link first time I'm really having issues with a firmware update but it's quite disruptive. I'm getting random drop outs from random devices. This shows itself in a few ways. Home assistant loses ability to contact some of my devices like purifier and Sonos sound bar.

Sometimes can be verified via app as devices disappear from client list as well.

Other times no dice on that and device can be connected to the network but will be unable to load any internet for some time. Wished there was an easier way to roll back to the last firmware

  @David-TP Hi, thank you for your quick reply. The thing is, I didn't had this issue on firmware 1.5.7. Only on 1.6.0 and 1.6.1. 
 

it is (untill now) only on my iPhone. I cannot manually chose Deco network: it wont let me do that. I have iOS 16.0.2 installed. Low powermode I don't use. 
 

Turn off private IP-adress ; I will try that later. But that setting is on for months already and didn't bother anything on Deco 1.5.7

-> if you could test this with iPhone 13 and iOS 16.0.2 and especially when using airplane mode for several ours (like every night) and than switch airplane mode off: when doing exactly that you might be able to reproduce. 
 

NB : I have an iPhone 11 aswell with IP privacy settings on etc, and this phone has absolute no problem (?)
