  @TP-Link 

There are still some issues with the latest firmware 1.6.0 20220307 Rel. 60666

1. The admin page ( 192.168.68.1 ) does not allow logins after 2-3 days, restarting Deco makes the login page work again.

2. Smart Devices are not available after 2-3 days, restarting Deco makes the smart devices available again.

3. VPN Connections through Wifi are laggish, connecting through WiFi with 802.11ac > 500Mbps and with internet speed  100/10 filetransfer  goes from 355kbps to 2Mbps maximum. Connecting same device using Ethernet cable to any satellite Deco (Satellite Decos are connected Wireless with the main Deco) filetransfer goes from 4Mbps to 9Mbps. 

 

There are many things to do from your side in order to give as a stable trouble free Firmware.

@Billmanakos unbelievable. When does 1.6.0 will be stable. In 2023? This can't be serious that TPLink makes only a big bang firmware update instead of multiple agile small updates throughout the year. 
 

No way that I am installing 1.6.0 when they release it. It will be a mess. @TP-Link

@TP-Link Just upgraded to 1.6.0 Build 20220307 Rel. 60666.

 

Getting frequent WI-FI disconnects (every few minutes) and internet upload speed has halved.

 

Previous beta firmware was fine.

 

Any thoughts?

Hi there, Follow-up: following total power down and up of the entire home, the disconnects and speed have resolved themselves.

  @dneto  Thank you very much for the feedback and please refer to this link for more details:

https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/540892

Since you followed the M5-1.6.0 in this thread, I believe your model is M5 and it uses HomeCare security service,  which is not included in the post on Reddit.

  @Billmanakos 

Thank you very much for your feedback. 

Have you tested the previous versions of 1.6.0? is it only the third version-0307 that had the following issues?

At the same time, could you please help me check the following information:

1. The admin page ( 192.168.68.1 ) does not allow logins after 2-3 days, restarting Deco makes the login page work again.

Were you able to reproduce the same issue most of the time?

And when the admin page failed to load, would there be any error message and are you still able to ping the IP and domain name---192.168.68.1/tplinkdeco.net?

2. Smart Devices are not available after 2-3 days, restarting Deco makes the smart devices available again.

May I know the model numbers of these smart home devices?

Can I have more details about what you meant "smart devices are not available", like offline from their controlled APPs?

3. VPN Connections through Wifi are laggish, connecting through WiFi with 802.11ac > 500Mbps and with internet speed  100/10 filetransfer  goes from 355kbps to 2Mbps maximum. Connecting same device using Ethernet cable to any satellite Deco (Satellite Decos are connected Wireless with the main Deco) filetransfer goes from 4Mbps to 9Mbps. 

Do you transfer files via VPN connection or within the local network?

Have you tried to turn off "Mesh Technology" on the wireless clients for filetransfer?

  @David-TP  @TP-Link I cannot log in the admin page (192.168.68.1 in my case) either and I am using 1.5.7 firmware! So it is not a firmware 1.6.0-related issue.

  @JanRekenaar thank you for the update.

I test it just now and could log into web UI on both 1.5.7 and the latest beta 1.6.0.

If the IP address did not work, would the domain name help-http://tplinkdeco.net?

By the way, are you able to ping the IP address and domain name?

  @David-TP That url you suggest doesn't work either. I cán login with my TP-Link account on https://www.tplinkcloud.com/admin.php and I can login with my TP-Link ID in the Deco App for my Deco M5.
 

But when I copy and paste the password in the webinterface of the router (Deco M5) I cannot login. When I type in the password manually I cannot login. 

The router is pingable. (Reply from 192.168.68.1)
