In addition to that, USB ports of M9 plus are completely useless. At least we should connect USB HDD there.

@TP-Link what's purpose of this beta program?

 

The 1.6 beta was published 3 months ago. Many bug reports and there is no any new 1.6.x update for supposed bug fixes . 
 

People are trying to colaborate but this kind of beta program is not working.

@TP-Link how do we actually upload the firmware to the system, via the app? We need this desperately for signal steering in a large installation that we are having stability issues with.

@ESIntegrators 

You can upload the firmware through the web interface. But the issues is as many including my self are experiencing is that it simply doesn't work or respect the signal steering changes you make. Even after reboot of deco / devices it just connect how it wants to! 
so a updated fix in the firmware needs to be released to actually have this working.

@TP-Link When is this going to be available for the M4? My network is literally unusable and the only way around this is to get a refund for these poor networking devices.

@TP-Link 

Is it possible that perhaps tp-link would like to share their firmware roadmap for their deco series of upcoming features and improvements.

@TP-Link Will it be released for M4 and if yes, when? Really struggling with my Deco in the Groundfloor because it keeps connecting to the mainstation in the 2nd instead of the station in the 1st. Little dataflow is enough for the station to completely loose connection. Not even then it connects to the station in the 1st.

@TP-Link 

since this is new upcoming firmware. Perhaps I can share some ideas for further improving the experience.  
I believe we are missing a way to search inside the app. For ip or MAC address to lookup what is there. 
it would also be great to have the DHCP ip assigned list showing to see what is using what and the current lease time!

Being able to set more options for a group like IoT to be on the network but no internet access. 
Lastly I also think that we should have the option to have a scheduler to remove devices under the offline section of the app automatically if the device haven't been present on the network for some time. 
 

I would also like to warn people at the same time that have lots of Apple devices like me. The private address function under the WiFi settings causes the Deco to see the phone / iPad as new devices all the time as the MAC address changes this creating a lot of the same devices and release new ip at the same time. Look under your offline section of the deco app. It's a great feature in the latest iOS but I do recommend to turn it off for the home network! It can cause a lot of problems.

@TP-Link Installed the new firmware, no problems, a very good improvement.  I was able to easily configure my mesh network and improve the overall speed for some of my more remote locations.  (I have 6 M5 units.)  The only odd thing I've noticed is that some of my clients such as my Apple home pods no longer show with their assigned names.  Instead, I see the devices listed as "rp.  But clients like my MacBook or WDMyClould still report names correctly.
