i got them from Amazon and they arrived a couple of days ago.  I really miss the connection preference feature, particularly for my Ring doorbell, which I'd like to connect to the nearest X50 and on 2.4ghz.  When it's connected like that, it gets a really strong signal, but it changes its connection to other Decos or to 5ghz.  I've turned off Mesh fof the doorbell but that doesn't help.  Guess I'll have to wait for the v1.2 firmware update.

  @RCC just shows how quick the version numbers have been updated, it will soon be the case where the v1 models stop getting updates and only the v1.2 get updates until the next hardware version is released. this is the only problem with tplink hardware.

also the other issue why you might have some issues with the x50 and ring/iot devices is the 160Hz setting on 5ghz - turn it off as can cause more problems than its worth, the deco x50 at the moment have no auto optimisation of the network band and must be done manually and from work i could determine if there is radar interference on the 5ghz 160hz it does not change channels automatically.

i think my ring doorbell links on 2.4ghz and never goes on 5ghz

I've just got x50s from Amazon & see that this update isn't available for v1.2 hardware that I've got. When will it be available for those?

  @Stuart0001 

I've been asking the same question.  It would be nice to get an answer.

  @David-TP 

hello.

I updated the firmware of my deco x50 and I have serious signal problems with several devices in constant signal loss.

Anyone with the same problem or any solution?

thanks

Hello

On any type of equipment.
It seems that the first ones to connect do it normally, but any of the following ones don't seem to get the IP assigned to them.

Everything worked fine until I updated the firmware.

  @David-TP 

i was very excited when I saw firmware update 1.0.1 Build 20221103 Rel. 43203 was available for my v1.2 x50s, but that turned to disappointment when I realised that the update doesn't include the Client Preferred Connection option.  Very disappointed!  I really need that feature to prevent my Ring doorbell from constantly disconnecting.

  @David-TP 

Has anyone successfully used this firmware to establish a VPN client in the router? I have tried, and the router indicates that it has connected with the vpn node using OoenVPN, but no traffic will flow.

hoping someone can help!

thanks,

Mark

In case you haven't seen it, since a few days ago, there is the new version V1_1.2.0 Build 20230113 available for download from Worldwide / English of DECO X50. In my case and from the tests carried out it seems to work well. Tanks TP Link!
