Any update on this for the m4v2? So annoying that they all select the main deco. Any news for the update at all??

Really need a solution for M9 Plus v2.8 for manual selection.  That way we can test if we are indeed getting the best performance.

I was about to purchase more TP-Link mesh network, but decided not to after seeing this thread and how the problem persists even with more recent models.

I implemented other mesh networks from other vendors, and they were all able to connect the way I expected with better performance.  

Office and Bedroom should connect to hallway to get better signal.  It took 10+ reboots before master_bedroom finally connected to living_room.  Initially master_bedroom connected to bathroom (across the house), and office connected through master_bedroom.

  @Rich0682 I am still waiting too

  @David-TP Haha, I already sold to someone else and bought Deco X20

Thanks for the update

  @TP-Link Is there update for M9 Plus v2.8?

  @TP-Link You did it! 

Thanks a lot, this was the update I was waiting for during all these years. 
I have 34 Decos (most of them are M4's, a lot of XE75's and some X50 Outdoor's) running across 4 different locations. The first ones are now over 5 years old, but they all still run very smoothly; I recommend them to everyone. The regular updates are also a plus point. Thankfully, TP-Link takes the Deco project very seriously; this is the main reason for their success. Moreover, Deco doesn't let its users down and even asks them for feedback on improvements, which deserves a lot of respect. The only downside for me, as a technician, is that they are too limited for use as routers. I simply use them as access points, and in that regard, they are unparalleled. But the consistency and especially the stability are unmatched, and I haven't experienced anything like it with any other brand as I have with this TP-Link DECO system. I'm someone who won't quickly recommend one brand over another unless I have enough experience with it; however, I have experience with ASUS, Ubiquity, Netgear, etc., and I can confidently say to anyone who asks me that the Deco system is a dream in terms of ease of use. Highly recommended for the vast majority who want a stable, easy-to-set-up, and easy-to-manage network, and thanks for this update! It completes the whole experience!

LOL, I'm using Deco x20 and it still not have manual signal. Firmware version: 1.5.3 Build 20231227 rel 62097

My house is 4 floors with 1 deco in each floor, the main node is Deco X20 (4th floor) "X20 tầng 4" - M5 (3rd Floor) "M5 tầng 3" - X20 (2nd floor) "X20 tầng 2"- M5 (1st floor) "M5 tầng 1".

But the X20 (2nd floor) name "X20 tầng 2" alway find source signal from the main x20 (4th floor).

I really need the manual configuration for this on the Deco x20.
