@David-TP This is really great to see! Hoping it comes to the W6000 line soon. I kept my system because it has been rock solid.

Thank you for listening to the community!

  @David-TP Hello. I've recently returned my Deco X50 V1.0 (3 pack) because I had realized that I just needed 2 of them (specially since I made a wired backhaul connection between them), so I could save some money getting the 2 pack. The problem is that the new 2 units that just arrived today are hardware version 1.2. Am I still able to update them with the new firmware released? I really don't want to miss the node/band selection feature because i found it sooo useful. Sometimes my devices switch between 2.4ghz / 5 ghz band and I just want them to stay in the one I desire.

Is it now possible to wake on lan over the internet via vpn?

Hi, welcome to the community.

I am afraid it might be bad news for you that this early-release firmware is not suitable for V1.2, only for V1.

There will be the same firmware for V1.2 later but the ETA is not clear yet.

So far, I think the Deco X50 V1-3 pack would still be a better choice or if you can buy it in local store, 2*1 pack Deco X50 V1 would also be a workaround.

(By the way, normally there would be a product label on the box and it marks out the Hardware V1, V1.2 or V2).

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @David-TP That's really bad to hear... I don't like the incertitude of not knowing if my units are going to receive the same updates as the V1 hardware. I guess I'll just Contact Amazon and ask them to send me a V1 2 units pack.

By the way, could you tell me the difference between V1, V1.2 & V2 hardware versions? I don't really understand why tp link does this with their devices.... At least they could release the updates at the same time.

  @David-TP Will the X50-4G get it?

  @David-TP well done, it's on test (2 X50 v1.0, wired backhaul). as a side note, the wired one disappeared after a software restart of the whole system, i needed to switch off and disconnect/reconnect ethernet backhaul, then the wired one reappeared correctly. at the moment it's all up and running. (still need the "static IPv6 option" as a feature in next releases ;) :D )

  @AlbertGM This is the biggest problem with TP-Link devices, they will release V1 then a few months later they release V1.2 which is different specs to V1. It's like if you get V1 units, you are being a guinea pig and doing the testing for them, but you'll never get all the updates or later support as they've moved on to a newer version of the system.

I've has this with quite a lot of my older TP-Link routers. It also the same even if on V1 where I've found that UK users don't get all the updates seen for other countries.
