Hi, Sorry for the delay.
From firmware 1.6.0 to 1.5.x, takitkat is right and it needs to done via firmware recovery first.
There would be a better way to do it to save the current configuration:
1. Pick one of the satellite unit and do the firmware recovery first and restore it back to 1.5.7.
2. Then add it back to the previous mesh network and change it to be the main Deco.
3. After that, you could perform the firmware recovery on two other Deco M9 plus.

Thanks for the feedback.
I used to see there are several different versions of parental control on our products and one of the old version is just like what you want " release only some access at certain times", such as https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/1531/ and gradually more newer models apply to the latest version of parental which is what you have seen on Deco M9 plus. It is not likely the engineers will bring it back but it would be highly appreciated if you could start a new thread here to let me know how many other users would have the same request, So that the engineers would have the chance to know what is best for users.
Best regards.

Hi @David-TP , any feedback please?
--
After a week of experimenting with global "Fast roaming" and individual tweaking, it's a no go for me.
The benefits of selecting preferred connection sources are way less than the stability of the connection when walking through my property.
I've been using the same router setup (6 x Deco M9 Plus) without big issues while using 1.5.6, but this version 1.6.0 destroys the benefits of Fast roaming.
Can you please instruct me how to go back to 1.5.6_211018?

I've also been experiencing some strange disconnects on my devices. After upgrading everything was fine for a few days but then noticed some devices flapping. I've turned off fast roaming a d it seems to have helped as mentioned. It's not all devices that have issues. So far I've noticed my Samsung s22u and my Logitech harmony hubs and one Samsung tv.

I installed the latest beta available for my units (3-pack) , when I choose 2.4GHz only for a certain device it just can't connect to the network anymore, 5GHz only works fine, I also tried to forget the network for the devices I tested this on. Please open a ticket and I'll send the full details about which devices are effected by this if needed through the email. + Is it possible to add a Bandwidth limit option for each individual device?

Thanks.
I think that for a future version, it could improve the functions of parental control, blocking links or ips after a certain time, improve the access report, leaving more data, so that you can see more of what you have been accessing. I have an adolescent son and sometimes he complains that as he is going to study if the internet is blocked, I wish we had a solution to release only some access at certain times, because installing software on the computer to manage it is not possible, he format the computer.

@Dumke Maybe in a month or two or a little longer. That's what it took with the M5
