Yes I agree. Updates are very slow here. I see other vendors offering more management and more controls to their customers. Something I don't see on TP-Link.
I have already started my network migration project. I chose Unify as a replacement for my equipment. I called customer support and was very well attended by them. They gave me special attention, something I've never seen on TP-link.

Yeah it's the same with my surroundings.
I am also not satisfied. I have overall been pleased by tp-link products over the years. But the rate of updates / features are to slow coming. I have been watching the other brands getting massive over haul of features while it takes a long time for to-link to introduce some few things. For the price of their top products like x60/x90 I can get way more if switching to e.g UniFi for that money. It's a shame really. As people have been loyal and informing over the years, but it's not taken seriously. Just like with this beta setup or what ever to call it.

Honestly, I'm very disappointed in TP-Link. Many friends have migrated to Unify/Ubiquiti solutions, and are extremely pleased with the change.
I'm already planning my migration too.- Copy Link

Hi, the beta firmware is for Deco M5 v1/V2/V3, not for V3.2 yet.
It is suggested to wait on the official release for 1.6.0 firmware:

Beta is way too long. I've been on this version for months! I thought I'd be on a several revised editions by now. Prob even an official release! I'm never installing a beta version again. What a shambles @Bolton-UK

I had similar problems with this firmware and working from home made the things worse!
Support requested from me to test a debug firmware but I didn't have the time to test or debug, I had to act ! So I decided to downgrade back to a working firmware using the following guide:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2958/
I had m4 and m5 deco so I had to proceed with the TFTP Solution.
Be advised that you may brick your devices if something goes wrong like disconnect or power failure.

We are all wondering that Fuzzme.
the questions have been asked many times in this long thread. But those questions are never answered. When is aimed for release? Why only 1 beta for so many months now, when several people have identified issues including my self here. The beta program is strange and not used optimal. I wouldn't recommend either to install the beta when your working from home currently. I would have liked to see for the long time this has been out. At least 2-3 betas with fixes for the findings. I don't believe they can get everything right in one beta. Just look at how Apple is doing it. And they also still fail in their releases despite of that.
