@David-TP 1.6.1 20231228
Thank you for the link to the beta, however, as it is a beta, can I expect instability and other issues? I wouldn't want this to end up being a downgrade on my S4.
Can I ask why an official build has been taking so long, and if indeed it is ever coming? If the plans have been scrapped, I would much rather be told that, than be led on in the hopes it will come.

Hi, Nice to see you again.
May I know the hardware version of your Deco S4?
If it is on V2, you could try the beta firmware here:
Deco M4/S4_V2 Support Connection Preference
Thank you very much and best regards.

Are there any workarounds or ways to get the Deco S4 to support connection preferences to another Deco? I was told long ago the update would be coming, but I don't know if it was a lie to placate me or what but there doesn't seem to be any sign of it. As such, I wonder if there is any way I could just get this feature. You are generally helpful on here so I don't know why things have turned out like this, it's a shame.
Can I force the firmware somehow, or anything else?
Thanks.

Hi all, Ive got a mesh network with 5x Deco M5s on (3x V3s and 2x V3.2s)
All decos running 1.7.3 Build 20230906 at the moment, the perfomance hasnt been great since the 1.7.1 update (see ALOT earlier in this thread). Since im in the UK presumably I would be downloading the 1.7.4 firmware if I was to go down the manual upgrade route, the firmware download page looks like it would be Deco M5(UK)_V3_1.7.4 Build 20231222?
Is the stability of the system improved at all? My android phone seems to require a disconnect then reconnect to make the Wifi stable again at the moment, this wasnt the case before 1.7.1 (going over old ground again!).
Also would i need to do the upgrade manually on each one via each units web interface presumably using the V3 file for the V3s and the V3.2 file for the others?
Cheers all.

Hi, the original 1.7.4 EU version number has been taken for something else so a new version number was created.
Then 1.7.5 EU version has been removed to further optimize the Parental Control feature.
Currently, 1.7.6 is the latest EU version.
Your time zone should be GMT+11:00 and it seems to be the right time. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you very much and Best regards.

Got a notification from the app (new firmware available).
But the app (latest version) said the latest firmware was already installed (1.7.3).
Refreshing didn't help.
Manually (WebUI) installed the 1.7.6 on my 3 Deco M5 V1.0's and works fine so far.

Thank you and it is very helpful!
Best regards.
PS: During the initial release of version 1.7.6, some users might not be able to get the firmware notification via the Deco APP.
The firmware has been uploaded to the EU site if you want to manually update the firmware:
