@Spoons 

wait! Your M9 V2 updated to 1.6.1 via the app??? Where do you live? I'm in the US and it's not available via the app. Thanks.

Hi

V2 M9s updated to 1.6.1 via the app.

Despite website showing 1.6.1 available for V1, app keeps telling me they're up to date (currently on 1.5.1)

How do I get the app to update my V1 M9s to 1.6.1?

I'm in the UK

  @gabardina I checked out of curiosity in the section to update devices and I have left the new version and I have already installed it for the moment it is going well. 

  @Alexandre. First, I agree that in (probably almost) every forum there is always more negative then positive posts and it's a good thing to point out the positives. In this case i can't agree to say "better late then never" TP-Link still sells M9 devices and the support isn't good, lots of problems and lack of features.

Customers that bought the M5's and thought that the M9 would be an upgrade are getting a slap in the face because of missing essential features they had on M5's (ie: like selecting deco A needs to communicate with deco B and not deco C) I know that these features where not present when the deco's (M5/M9) got released since i was an early adopter, but again, these products are still worldwide available to buy in stores (!!!) and the M5's get pushed the latest firmware.

At this moment the 1.6.1 firmware has not been pushed to the M9's so imo TP-Link is still not done... so i can't say anything positive when a company is screwing over there (avarage) customers by letting a more expensive product be a downgrade. 

  @Alexandre. Good initiative, I'm adding my thanks as well, keep up the good work, don't mind the nay-sayers too much.

  @David-TP Will there be a push to the devices for this (1.61) update??

  @David-TP 

David-TP, please pass thanks for releasing firmware 1.6.1 to software developers and project manager. It took a while, and M9 Plus is the last from models listed in https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/597476 to get firmware 1.6.* officially released, but better late than never. 

Not very many people come to support forums to say "thank you," first level of escalation is thankless job. Both figuratively and literally. I want this forum post to be different. Thanks to people who released Deco M9 Plus firmware 1.6.1 (among other things) and thanks to you for doing a good job managing and supporting this forum.

  @Schueler I replaced 4 m9-plus with 2 Asus Pro-ET12s - much better signal thoughout the house - configurable channels and faster speedtest results (by a factor of 10 in some rooms)

  @RWB66 

Thanks, up and running.

So far no issues and will see if it is stable or not.

The bad thing is I have 9 of these devices in total. Replacing them all will be very expensive:(
