@TP-Link Just got a new firmware version that solves the issues of the previous beta. VPN works as expected and npm install finishes on time.
The firmware got updated on the first post of this thread, but here it is:

@RomseyGuy Thank you very much for your feedback.
Any chance that you could start a new thread with more details about your current instability issue about Deco M5 and Deco M3W, such as any Deco flashing red?
If all the Deco stayed green/white, what are the devices that dropped the connection a lot, and how did they restore the connection?

@David-TP I also have connectivity issue when making à docker pull.
It looks like if there are more than three simultaneous downloads, other are "waiting".
Updating Home Assistant container takes aproximatly half an hour since I updated to 1.6.0 20210214, before it was less than five minutes.
I talk about three simultaneous downloads because when reading my terminal, I have three "Downloading" which are near their end but frozen, and others have their state to "waiting".
What is 100% sure is now docker pull is very long.

Well tried this new beta firmware. Broke more than the previous iffy version.
My Drayton wiser heating system was unable to connect to the cloud. Lots of issues with my sonarr/radarr setup getting errors out the blue.
Tried deleting and starting the mesh from fresh still issue's.
Installed the previous beta firmware (lucky it lets you go back to it!) And although I'm sure I will have to reboot my network every so often all the problems magically vanished!
Only tplink can release a newer firmware that makes more problems than it fixes
