@TP-Link i have never seen a beta like this...no information...too long...nothing...i thought changed but no money for it right now, it would be expensive to replace 5 device... The application is sloppy, no possibility of mass actions... I have 55 devices connected in total and making changes becomes a real torture... just deleting devices that no longer exist is torture. .. I don't know how other brands work but I'm disappointed that I bought tplink.
1 year for a beta...

@TP-Link Agree. We were properly sold down the river on this Beta program. Nobody should be stuck on Beta software for nearly a year! No progress reports, release notes on fixes...nothing
Currently looking at other mesh brands as replacement..

Amazing how this product was abandoned.
EEro use exacly same hardware (Qualcomm IPQ4019) and have a lot of features and amazing software to control network.
Any update coming or best solution for deco is change tplink to another router?

@TP-Link Hello, when will a final version of 1.6 be released?

@skribble welcome to the community.
Would your current issue start just after updating to the 1.6.0 beta? or the same issue already existed on 1.5.7 and 1.6.0 firmware did not make any improvement.
If it is the latter, I wish you could start a new thread here with the following details:
1. Here you mentioned that "The last one was because some devices were not connecting to the Wireless network", I think what you said might be the devices could connect to Deco M5 and would be randomly disconnected from the internet?
2. May I know the model numbers of these devices?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

This last beta firmware is very buggy for me.
I already had to reboot the deco more then 5 times since i install the new firmware.
The last one was because some devices were not connecting to the Wireless network.
When is it schedule to be released the new beta? Or the final version?
Kind regards,
