  @PowerButton Jeehaa 

Thank you very much for the feedback.

The 1.6.0 firmware could be downgraded back to 1.5.x via firmware recovery.

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.

 

@PowerButton have you tried the beta firmware here which has added fixes to most of the reported issues?

Deco M5_1.6.0_build20220816

 

 

 Jeehaa, as for the Microsoft teams, I am quite sure that it is not caused by the firmware upgrade and I used to see feedback on different models. But I am not sure why it just started after the firmware upgrade. I will check more details with you later via email and hope you do not mind.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @TP-Link 

I have been thinking of what I can do too. I have 7 M5 devices with ethernet backhaul.

 

Ccertain devices just cannot connect, or lose connection midway (Samsung TV, apple iPhone and I suspect my Ring doorbell etc) it is so unstable I am thikning of throwing away the entire system as it is infuriating. Not being able to downgrade the firmware is rediculouse.

 

I have been tempted to go out and buy another deco which has not been upgraded and see if swapping my main deco with an non-upggraded deco would improve the situation.

 

The only thing which is stopping me changing all the devices are

 

1 - I have spent a bunch on 7 decos (and I cannot sell them off in good faith knowing they have problem)

2 - It is going to cost me a bunch more to change them

3 - I actually like the echo system as it is easy to manage

4 - It used to be rock solid in terms of uptime and stability

 

PLEASE UPLOAD v1.5 firmware so we can download and flash the devices using the web interfact (I don't see why this is not possible). OR PLEASE RELEASE a more stable version.

  @TP-Link  Just chiming in that I am also having issues with 1.6 (both official 1.6.0 Build 220525 and 20220816 beta).

 

I have 3 M5's in AP mode using Ethernet back haul, smart dhcp disabled, (tried toggling "Mesh technology" but that did not help).

 

For example Teams calls are dropping on a new Dell laptop, Samsung Tablets struggling to keep connection. 

Just weird  behavior in general, while on 1.5 the Deco's always seemed to be rock solid.

 

Is there a way to force a downgrade to 1.5 to rule out the 1.6 FW?

 

[Update] I performed a factory reset of the Deco's, let's see what happens.

Will this beta version work with an M5(1.0)? I'm currently using 1.6.0 Build 20220525 Rel. 48298

  @PowerButton Daniel-TX

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.

  @TP-Link 

 

I am now facing the same issue that others here are. 

 

I have some devices which are not able to connect to the WiFi even though they were previously connected.

 

So far have experienced problems with the following:-

 

- Iphone(s)

- Samsung TV

- Macbook Air M1

 

For some of the devices, when you forget the network and try to connect later it does work. Others have not been able to connect for hours (over 24 hours).

 

Not sure what the issue is but it is quite inconvenient. I am looking to set up a guest network to see if that solves it in the short term, but should not have to look at such work around. Never had these issues prior to the firmware upgrade.

  @David-TP 

 

Since I updated to version 1.6, I am also getting at least 1 device per day that can't connect to the internet. These are devices that were previously connected, but can't reconnect. This is happening for wired and wireless connections and a reboot is the only action that seems to fix it (temporarily). I have 3 Deco M5s. Is there a solution to this specific problem?

  @PowerButton 

 

i am not sure what happened, but all my devices are now working properly.

 

I did not even do a reboot, but when I checked them today (24hrs after I did all my troubleshooting) they all seemed to work fine. 

 

I am not complaining, but neither can I explain the improvement. It clearly is not my ISP as the Deco speed tests are the same.

 

Still a mystery.
