@TP-Link Please, please, please rollout this new update in every country! Wi-fi interference has been high for me lately. I cannot use my 2nd deco m5 because of this. I noticed that the first deco is a lot faster than the second one even though I am near to it. We acknowledge that you are doing your best in providing good services to us. But please, rollout this new update. Thank you.

@Momcho I have 1.5.7 build 20210819 Rel. 43499 so it looks like there has been an update since your version.
It looks like there are differences between different countries about deployed firmware, which is another thing which lets us in a total confusion.

It is the strangest beta test I've seen:
- Since the beginning, I've read all posts of the topic and no other version than the first has been released. Beta1 but no beta2 which fixes the Beta1 issues;
- Another point which make me worry is it does not look like users report their issue has been fixed, or a very litle number.
Can we have an idea of the progression of this beta?
I feel realy esitating to update when seeing that.
I like beta-testing but in this case things are not sure at all. Nothing is sure in beta-tests but usualy we know where we go...
