@Bolton-UK no. And after a verification, it is the same for v1, I have not found any firmware version 1.7.5 for Deco M5, last is 1.7.4.

@budgie29 On TP-Link website there is no 1.7.5 at all for v3 so it is possible it is surprisingly only available for v1.

It's a odd one, I've had it where the deco app dosen't pick up the new firmware but I've always managed to manually update the firmware via the GUI but on this occasion I'm unable to, Must be some sort of glitch with the firmware, Hopefully tech support can shed some light on the issue we are facing.

I can see there is a new firmware out for the M5 I've tried updating via the deco app but unfortunately it isn't picking up the new firmware, I've also tried updating manually though the GUI via phone and still won't update, Any ideas?

@CCDan I also confirm that is not working despite that is written in settings that choosing a certain DECO, the device will connect ONLY to that DECO. At 1.7.4 is not working as is stated.
The wording in Deco app is incorrect. I brought that to attention of TP-Link Support.
In reality, with how Deco mesh operates, using Connection Preference you can instruct device connect to specific Deco but you can't force device to do that if it does not want to.
------
To force device connect to specific WiFi node, that node must run its own SSID (in addition to "global" SSID for WiFi mesh). Then, you can configure device connect to SSID of WiFi node.
Deco mesh does not offer that. If you find WiFi mesh from different brand, the one that allows to configure unique SSID per WiFi node, that's the brand you should buy from if you need to glue device to specific WiFi node.
If someone knows such WiFi mesh brand, where it is possible to configure unique SSID for each WiFi mesh node, please share its name.

@TP-Link Signal Source would be fine to work as already is set in App but not working yet, even in 1.7.4.
