New Firmware Release: XE75 PRO (US)
Intro: Recent update to XE75 PRO not showing on the Deco app. Here's what I did to get up and running!
Model: Deco XE75 PRO
Hardware Version: V1.6 - US
Firmware Version: 1.2.1
I upgraded from an XE60 to the XE75 PRO to find out that I lost features on the new device. I was about to return the new one since the Deco app showed it was on the latest firmware. However when checking the TP-link product support page I noticed there was an update on 06-16-2023 that the Deco app is not showing.
I located my model number and version and followed the steps to manually upgrade the Deco via a computer (web-login).
The upgrade took two minutes and it works great, all the new features have been added like being able to create an ioT network and selecting the preferred connection per device.
