The update tool never finds the v3.2 deco even when connected directly to it. Attempting to update via the web ui also fails when uploading. The v1 decos were fine.
I've physically swapped the decos around now in an attempt to use the set source on the furthest away v1, however, it fails when attempting to save.
is there a release date for the final build?

Hi, for Deco M5, the upgrade utility is not suggested.
What happened when you tried to update via web UI, not able to access the Deco V3.2 with 1.5.6 web UI via the IP address?
Or you can get the login page but fail to log in because of the password?
Would you be kind to share a video clip about the upgrade process of V3.2 with 1.5.6?
Thank you and wait for your reply.

Thanks for the update.
I would like to forward your case to the senior engineers for further assistance.
And May I know how did you update the Deco M5 to firmware 1.5.6 before since this firmware does not upload to the cloud server?
Is this the built-in firmware since you purchased this unit?

For anyone following along, I've received an email from the support team
"it is confirmed that Deco M5 V3.2 uses a new Bluetooth chip, and the driver of the Bluetooth chip in the firmware of 1.6.0 that we currently provide has not been updated, so you cannot install this firmware on the V3.2 device for the time being.
