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.

@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.

@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.

@Bolton-UK I checked on US and French TP-Link website and it was not, so things become very strange :)
OK, In France I was mistaken, it is available.
Maybe it is specific for EU?

@Bolton-UK maybe we should wait for communication from TP-Link, which does not look very probable in fact. I am really hesitating about trying to install it.

Hi, The 1.7.5 is for the EU version only but actually, it is the same as 1.7.4 for other region codes.
(Deco M5(EU)_V1/V2/V3/V3.2 share the same firmware download link)
I checked the release note of the original 1.7.4 version for the EU version. It mentioned the 1.7.4 version number had been repeatedly requested before which might cause an upgrade failure in certain cases so that a new version number 1.7.5 has been submitted.
In this way, if you plan to manually update the firmware via web UI, it is suggested to use the latest 1.7.5 directly.
PS: I noticed the 1.7.5 hasn't been 100% rolled out and a part of the users will get the firmware notification first.
Thank you very much and best regards.
