@TP-Link Is there any time frame for Brazil? 1.6.1 is not available for me yet.
 By the way, whats the changelog for this new version?

Thank you

Anyone having the an issue with the internet speed after upgrading to the official version? For both official version my internet speed is slowing down significantly. My internet speed is 300mbps. I am getting this speed when I am connected to the main deco. But when I connect to the other ones I am only getting round 20 to 30 mpbs.

Can anyone help me with this please

Hi Tony,

Feel you pain as I was in exactly the same place. Tried doing daily reboots and still no change.

I did change to the new beta firmware about a week ago and things have been more stable. You shoulf give that a try.

There was a link earlier but putting it here. In the zip file there is a simple PDF to follow.

Deco M5-1.6.0 build 20220816

 Hi @TonyReilly,

if you not already tried this built, please try it

  @TP-Link Hi All,

 

I hope you can help. I've 4 X M5 units (3 V1's and 1 v3) . They've been working flawlessly for a good while, but since the last firmware update I'm having serious issues with DHCP addresses being issued. 

It happens most days when I get up and open my work laptop. It either won't connect at all, or will give an error that it couldn't be assigned a DHCP / IP Address. It happens on my Pixelbook and on my wifes new Macbook Pro. I've also got a few smart devices that won't connect. I had to reboot the whole network again today to get connected (devices that already online are fine, but it's ones looking for new IP addresses that are having issues). 

 

Can you please advise if this is a known issue and if there's a fix for it.

There's loads of IP addresses left to be used so it's not that they've run out or anything. 

 

Thanks.

I have "upgraded" to the beta firmware which appears to be a bit more stable.

No long have issues of devices not being able to connect to the wifi. Also the speeds seems to be back to normal.

I do hope it remains stable, and that the firmware is released to solve other user's problems.

Thanks for the feedback.

I hope you could help me test the latest beta firmware here:

Deco M5_1.6.0_build20220816

(It could be reverted back to 1.6.0 official version directly if needed.)

If the disconnection just started after firmware upgrade, so far, the reported DHCP bugs might be one of the possible reasons.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @David-TP  - since installing the beta version, I have not had any more connection issues.

Gradually more and more models will get into 1.6.0 firmware and normally it is not suggested to downgrade back to 1.6.0

A user will not say: newer version makes my router useless, but because other models have it, let's update mine. 

I agree it should be way easier to downgrade if a firmware has issues and a user does not care if a version is old: he wants to be able to go back to a version that worked for him.
