After upgrade to v. 3.5.5 Deco app can no longer manage our family networks (password contains a space). That you prevent a space in the middle of a password is a bug. And that you can't maintain existing networks is probably another.

The app says "deleted the network" and goes back to Setup of a new network. 

We can't reconfigure our networks now. How can we get back to a previous app version while you fix the bugs?

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

Ever since Deco APP 3.5.5, Deco APP limits the use of blank space as a wireless password since based on the previous troubleshooting records, many smart home devices don't support blank space and many users accidentally add blank space at the end of the Wi-Fi password which is very easily being ignored.

 

As for a workaround, you could try to manually download the APK Here(https://apkpure.com/tp-link-deco/com.tplink.tpm5/versions) to roll back to 3.4.25 or before.

Best regards.

It seems like there's a bug preventing network management when the Wi-Fi password contains a space, and it's also causing problems with maintaining existing networks. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the specific procedures for downgrading the app, as it may vary based on your device's operating system and app store. You could try reaching out to TP-Link's support or checking the app store for information on reverting to a previous version while they work on resolving these issues.
