  @TP-Link Did the upgrade to 1.6.0 about a week ago. Since then a lot of issues: sudden drops in connectivity. I wish TP-link hadn't released this as a stable build :( I use this professionaly and it't really a big issue not to be able to do decent teams / webex calls ... I wish there was a way to downgrade.

  @TP-Link 

After updating M5 firmware to 1.6.0, main Deco  looses LAN connection every day once, which didn't happen with earlier firmware 1.5.3. Would be nice to get updates without loosing stability.

My main router has following event logs related to this (?).

  @Rantakemisti 

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

It has been reported to the senior engineers for further confirmation.

I will update here once there is any further news.

Thanks again.

Best regards.

  @David-TP Hi! Would it be possible to get a beta firmware for P7 as well? I have a couple of M5s and P7s in parallel, and it would be great to get all devices up to date.

 

Based on this Reddit thread, it should be simple to get the firmware to work with P7. https://www.reddit.com/r/TpLink/comments/w2oq96/tplink_deco_p7_is_not_dead_m5_firmware_can_revive/

  @XWEBNetwork AleWada

Welcome to the community.

Can I have more details about the degraded performance?

And what are the clients that won't connect to the Wi-Fi anymore, or are frequently disconnected from the internet?

A description with full details would be most appreciated. Don't worry about too many words, which might provide some useful information.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @XWEBNetwork 

 

I am facing the same issues. I have 6x M5 v3 and since I've updated to latest version I am getting devices disconnections, issues for connecting new ones and degradated performance.

  @DavidTp Just echoing the same issues regarding 1.60. 

 

I have 12 * Deco M5 V1s and for years they have all worked perfectly. Soon as 1.6 was installed, it's been non stop issues. I am constantly having to reboot the network, clients won't connect, performance is degraded.

  @TP-Link Are you planning to update also the firmware of the M4? When could we expect that to happen? I have 4 m4 decos and desperatly need the ability to manually select the source signal.

Thanks

  @David-TP 

 

Ever since the update to 1.60 my five Deco M5's have been severely misbehaving. I hope you an help, as it is driving me crazy. 

 

I have already restarted everything, tried network optimization, but to no avail. Symptoms are a slow initial connection when trying to do anything (loading a website, playing a game, starting the YouTube app on my smart TV, literally anything). and random short disconnects on all devices. For example, I get disconnected from an online game for around 5 seconds, and streams start buffering for around 5 seconds. This happens randomly, around once per hour. 

 

Before the upgrade to the Deco's firmware everything was fine. Anything I can try?

 

I literally can't play a 10 minute game of Hearthstone without disconnecting right at the beginning and halfway through. It's as though the starting connection is delayed. I don't have a lot of networking knowledge, so I can't really solve this myself.

 

Please assist. Let me know if you need anything.
