Firmware Version:

This Article Applies to:
Deco X50/Deco X55_V1

 

 

Issue Description:
In a large or high-density wireless network, usually, more than 3 Deco units are installed around the house to provide high network throughput and full WiFi coverage. With the network system running over time, some issues may arise if the unnecessary background processes run out of most of the RAM usage, such as:

  1. Deco APP is slow to load or sync with the latest network status.
  2.  Clients are missing or display the wrong online/offline status and connection type.
  3.  Advanced features are missing under Deco APP>More or get "unable to save, please try again later" during configuration.

 

 

Available Solution:
We are excited to share a public beta version of firmware for Deco X50/X55_V1 with the community. The beta firmware has made a huge effort in the Memory Optimization of Deco, which has proven to improve the overall APP control experience. If you happen to be troubled with the above issues, the beta firmware here would provide a great help.

>>How to update the firmware manually via web UI

 

Notes:

1. Please be sure you have read the Terms and Conditions for TP-Link Beta Firmware before proceeding!
2. You can still upgrade to the official firmware if there is any.

3. Some new features would not be available when the router works in Access Point mode.

  @David-TP 

Do you have any information on the X55 Pro firmware update? The current firmware is quite limited in terms of basic features. There's no IoT network, band preference, or node preference options. It's surprising that TP-Link seems to have overlooked their first multi-gig mesh like this.

I'm also experiencing issues with a Deco unit and have been in contact with TP-Link Customer Support via email. I've been waiting for almost 2 weeks for the TP-Link engineering team to reach out, but I've just received another similar email asking me to wait for engineering assistance again lol.

Agreed. Any firmware optimization is a bonus.

  @David-TP nice to see this beta, i have just experienced an ethernet backhaul speed degradation from 1gbps to 100mbps in a 2 Deco X50 setup, hope this beta can fix this also, just installed & testing.

  @Manuel-H 

Hi, Thank you very much for your feedback. 

Can you give me an example, like which port and why?

Usually, the ports will block all the inbound traffic by default for security concerns.

PS. It would be great if you could start a new thread here:

Best regards.
