Very nice features added to version 1.6.0! (2 decos M5 v3). At the moment I detected only one small problem: I have a Google TV dongle that in the DECO software does not indicate which network it is connected to even though the deco and the network are forced. I attach a screenshot.
And one request: when I use the new "scheduled reboot" feature, it does not "optimize the network" automatically. In other words, every time the decos are rebooted, the network has to be optimized manually. Question: Is there a way to program it in the DECO software so that it is done automatically after a scheduled reboot?

@TP-Link I had an issue with a mobile Samsung A32 4G (SM-A325M) that refused to connect to the 5Ghz band regardless the Deco unit was located 2 meters away. My others 30 devices were working great connecting to the nearest Deco unit using the 2.4 or 5Ghz band (depending their wifi capabilities) but the Samsung A32. It was important to me because I use this mobile for job related voice/video calls and need a fast and reliable wifi signal.
So I decided to upgrade my 3 Deco M5 units to firmware 1.6.0 (from 1.5.3) and so far everything's working great even with the Samsung mobile that's connecting to the nearest Deco.
Thanks for this firmware release.

Hi, as for the network optimization feature. It is suggested to have a look at this link:
And it would keep being optimized along with firmware upgrades.
[Solution] Network aways congested according to the Network Optimization on the Deco app
For the connection preference issue, Did you mean even though you manually select the linked Deco for Google TV, Google TV still connects to another unit.
Or the linked Deco is blank and does not show any linked Deco or connection type?

The Google TV connects to the preferred deco. This is fine. But from the DECO app it only shows the linked deco and does not show what frequency it connected to (2.4 or 5G).
