@David-TP 

Is it possible to install this firmware on v1.2 using this method? https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2958/

  @David-TP I have the latest firmware installed on my X50 V1 system. I add the vpn profiles for both L2TP and also OpenVPN, try to connect to either they both just say connecting.

Stays like that and doesnt show connected.

I can put an incorrect username or password on the vpn profile, to test the app detects it, nope still shows connecting.

Nothing at all in the webgui logs re the VPN

How do we troubleshoot this?

Thanks

Thanks, I've already updated it, i got a firmware notification.

I have another question, will IoT decrease my network performance if I enable it?

Because I have smart wifi products that they are already attached to my main network

Good day.
Installed firmware 1.2.0 rel. 54525 on Deco x50 ver. 1.0

I tried to install an openvpn profile, connect, then connected, but at this moment the Internet disappears completely.

*.ovpn tried on imac and windows 11 with the openvpn program - the configuration working.

Hello,

About the new firmware and VPN, I cannot export the OpenVPN config to an email. to configure it on a computer. My Deco version is X50, without web management. Please advise.

And please take into consideration adding a custom DDNS. For example, my ISP is providing free DDNS. I don't need to use third party.

PS: Using a log from OpenVPN mobile, I could be able to edit a config file for my computers but this is not the easy way. Phones or tablets are not the only devices that may need to connect to a VPN. And not everybody is able to read a log and edit a config file. My personal opinion.

Thank you,

Adrian

  @David-TP hi there, regarding the IoT network, since this creates a new network, does that mean every time I want to control a device I have to switch WiFi networks? Or is it bridged somehow so that even when connected to the main WiFi I can still control the devices as if they were on the same network?

I ask because I've installed 3 x Deco X55s. ALL my smart devices (light switches, ring doorbell, ring chime, plug sockets, CCTV cameras) seem to be struggling. They keep connect and disconnect very frequently. Pretty much constantly actually, nothing stays connected for longer than 30 seconds before losing connection and the reconnecting!

I've turned off beam forming and fast roaming and then rebooted but it didn't help

edit: decos are in AP mode, with smart dhcp off, so router is doing all the dhcp stuff

  @David-TP hi, I noticed because the app "eWeLink" kept telling me devices were offline. As I then walked around my house I could see my light switches were disconnecting and reconnecting as they have network indicators on the physical devices. They would be solid for about 30 seconds (meaning connected) then start flashing to indicate lost connections. 
 

I only set up my decos last night, I have not yet enabled the IoT separate network, I was enquiring about it because I wondered if perhaps it might help the issue if I had a dedicated IoT 2.4ghz network. 
 

if I disable "mesh technology" for devices, how do I ensure they're connected to the strongest signal/closest deco?
