@TP-Link I went head first with the beta and all functionality works fine, including getting DDNS to work with the help of the folks at TP Link. Now I'm having random disconects from devices such as my computer, my tv or other IoT devices from time to time. Once disconnected they will not connect again until I reset all decos. As a matter of fact, sometimes it seems like when a device disconnects and I reset that device will connect but then another will disconnect. Weird. Is there some sort of a limit of clients that I might be hitting? I have 12 decos in total and most of the time there are between 40 to 50 devices connected (some devices only connect when they need to).
Btw, can somebody tell me what is the latest official build of 1.6.0 out there?
Thanks,

Hi, you could go to Deco APP>More>Update Deco to see whether it could detect the official version.
If not, please refer to the link here to install the firmware: Deco M5-1.6.0 20220525
knorde Hi, you might have updated the main Deco first so later the satellite Deco could sync the same firmware from the main Deco.
But it is not always successful and most of the time, it needs to be updated one by one via the web interface.
I see you have updated to 1.6.0 already, is everything alright?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

Since the update, I've been having trouble with 1 ip camera losing its connection at night. This is what I get back in the log:
Tue Jun 28 02:50:14 2022 daemon-info hostapd: ath0: STA XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX IEEE 802.11: disassociated due to inactivity
Tue Jun 28 02:50:15 2022 daemon-info hostapd: ath0: STA XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)
Wed Jun 29 02:08:49 2022 daemon-info hostapd: ath0: STA XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX IEEE 802.11: disassociated due to inactivity
Wed Jun 29 02:08:50 2022 daemon-info hostapd: ath0: STA XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to inactivity (timer DEAUTH/REMOVE)
(address changed to XX).
(i have a - instead of a . done between daemon and info because the forum tells me not to post a link)
Do you have any idea how that is possible and how I can solve it?

@budgie29 thanx for sharing. What is your situation? More decos or one? Are the Decos Ethernet connected backhaule (and if so, does it still work)) or wireless connected? Do you use camera's connected to deco? I ask this because these things seem to give problems / instability with other users.

I upgraded my two M5's to 1.6.0. Tuesday. I got update through Deco app then, I'm in Finland.
Decos have been working perfectly before and after the upgrade. I'm still amazed how well these have performed, bought them at 2018.
