I'm using Deco M5 3.2(US) version & I updated this version manually. It's more stable then 17.4 Us version. I'm using Deco M5 main unit & 2nd mesh unit Deco x10.At Previous 17.4 my 2nd mesh unit Deco x10 auto disconnect from Main unit then after restart again connected. After update 17.8 this issue solved & felling better stable connection performance.

Hi, Thanks for the update.
The 1.7.8 has mainly optimized the security issue and it is not supposed to change the previous WiFi settings.
Did you use any special chracters as the Wi-Fi SSID and password?
I will also report to the engineers and check whether there will be similar feedback later.
By the way, did the network work well after reconfiguring the Mesh system?
Thank you very much and best regards.

Installed it using Deco app yesterday, I am in France. Surprisingly French TP-Link firmwares page does not mention this version yet. Everything look fine, by luck Deco selected channel 6 for 2,4 ghz, first time I have a good channel selected.
