I upgraded my two M5's to 1.6.0. Tuesday. I got update through Deco app then, I'm in Finland.
Decos have been working perfectly before and after the upgrade. I'm still amazed how well these have performed, bought them at 2018.

@budgie29 thanx for sharing. What is your situation? More decos or one? Are the Decos Ethernet connected backhaule (and if so, does it still work)) or wireless connected? Do you use camera's connected to deco? I ask this because these things seem to give problems / instability with other users.

Since the update, I've been having trouble with 1 ip camera losing its connection at night. This is what I get back in the log:
Tue Jun 28 02:50:14 2022 daemon-info hostapd: ath0: STA XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX IEEE 802.11: disassociated due to inactivity
Tue Jun 28 02:50:15 2022 daemon-info hostapd: ath0: STA XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)

Wed Jun 29 02:08:50 2022 daemon-info hostapd: ath0: STA XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)
(address changed to XX).
(i have a - instead of a . done between daemon and info because the forum tells me not to post a link)
Do you have any idea how that is possible and how I can solve it?

Hi, you could go to Deco APP>More>Update Deco to see whether it could detect the official version.
If not, please refer to the link here to install the firmware: Deco M5-1.6.0 20220525
knorde Hi, you might have updated the main Deco first so later the satellite Deco could sync the same firmware from the main Deco.
But it is not always successful and most of the time, it needs to be updated one by one via the web interface.
I see you have updated to 1.6.0 already, is everything alright?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
