Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.8 20191102

Hi,

 

A local ISP in the Philippines provided me with two Deco M4s. The box says its compatible with Alexa, i tried to set it up, but the app says "no networking product available", so i went to check for a new firmware. Even though the deco is currently on a 2019 firmware, the app won't let me update it as claims the deco’s firmware is current. I attempted to upgrade the firmware using the firmware recovery method that the Tp-Link community had advised me to use. I took all the necessary steps, but I still can't get my Deco into recovery mode. As soon as I pressed the reset button and plugged in the wire, the led became black after a few seconds.. Is there a method for me to activate recovery mode if the system is not bricked?

 

Thanks!

I was able to update the firmware of my deco however, I still couldn’t setup the Alexa integration.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

Is your internet service provider PLDT(PH)?

May I know how you manage to update to 1.5.6 from 1.1.8 firmware?

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Hi, Sorry for the delay.

Please confirm that Deco m4 is in wireless router mode under Deco APP>More>Advanced>operation.

After that, please switch to a different Deco as the main Deco to see whether it helped:

How to Set up the Satellite Deco or a new Deco to be the Main Deco

 

If still no difference, I think it might be related to the original firmware 1.1.8 build 20191102 since this version is an ISP-customized firmware that might not have some features supported on the general firmware.

Could you please refer to this link to help me submit the APP log so that I could double-check with the engineers?

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @David-TP Despite the fact that I tried your suggestions weeks ago, nothing changed. An app log was emailed to you. Waiting for a reply.
