@Sonic007 thank you again. Do you know if you need also a new version of the app when you install 1.6.0? Cause in the AppStore iOS there is only version 2.13.3 available.

Updated to 1.6.0 day one.
After 3 days slow performance and speed.
Restart and after 2-3 days slow performance on wifi, WAN, lost Kasa Smart Devices, slow IKEv2 VPN.
Today reverted back to 1.5.7. VPN, WAN and wifi are back to normal.
Be aware of this 1.6.0 update, it's not bug free.

@Billmanakos that sounds not good. How did you revert to 1.5.7? TP-Link claims that this is not possible when you are on 1.6.0

Read @ post #348.
Yes you can't downgrade using ordinary web update GUI.
You must use tftp and recovery procedure from tplink knowledge base.

@TP-Link why is it taking too long for the 1.6.0 firmware version to be released here in the Philippines?
Can I just manually upgrade it, if you could send me a link for a firmware for my devo m5 with v3 hardware, since when I am clicking your link it only shows 1.5.7
And I needed badly to update my deco m5 since most off my devices are being connected to the farthest deco I have which defeats the purpose of having a mesh routers

Hi, Thank you all for your messages.
Please refer to the following information.
1. JanRekenaar,1.6.0 does not need a beta APP version to be able to detect the new firmware.
The IOS APP 2.13.3 used to be a beta version to collect the APP log for another particular problem.
2. Jonnyyy, The 1.6.0 firmware link is suitable for V1/2/3/3.2.
3. Since the senior engineers are very concerned about the feedback about this new firmware if you do notice any issue with the upgrade, please do email support.forum@tp-link.com(Please add forum ID-274402 1.6.0 feedback) with details before reverting back to 1.5.7 so that we can help you check what happened as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

@TP-Link after the update I'm also experiencing some slow responses in wifi, although speed tests show otherwise.
In addition, when streaming audio on my mobile, it is not continuous so I have to move to cell network.
