  @David-TP Hello, I just fired up a new X55 yesterday, and was surprised to find no MAC filtering. Since this has been commented on, I'll just say that I tried to install the new 1.3.1 f/w, but got a "Failed" message. Could this be due to the fact that my hardware version is 1.2? Honestly, I've never had a router without a whitelist, and consider it a necessary security feature. My 2-year-old TP-Link standalone router had it, as well as all my other routers over the past decade. Any ETA? Thanks.

Hi, welcome to the community.

It is indeed because the hardware version is 1.2 since V1.2 does not share the same firmware with v1.

The engineers are quite cautious about the release date and would not like to provide an ETA. So there hasn't been any updated news about the release date.

Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP any update on a release date for firmware 1.3.x (or greater) for X55 hardware version 1.26?

 

The 1.26 line is still on firmware 1.1.x (Published Date: 2023-06-14 -- https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/deco-x55/v1.26/#Firmware ) which doesn't have whitelist / access control -- which is a critical (and exceedingly basic, must-have) feature for any modern wifi device. 

 

Please release 1.3.x for X55 version 1.26 -- this is a must-have!!!

  Hello, I bought a deco X50-DSL. Unfortunately, this type, even if the X50 does not support the whitelist. Will there be a whitelist in a future update?

Terrible roll out.

 

This update does not work with V1.26 of the X55 and the official version does not have the whitelist feature for any version of the X55 other than the V1.6.

 

None of this is advertised in the model number or made clear anywhere other than the firmware download page.

 

Now I am hunting for a version 1.6 of the X55.

Hi, Deco X55_V1.2/1.26 with the latest 1.2.0 Build 20231229 also adds the WiFi Access Control(Whitelist) like Deco X55_V1/V1.6.

Please make sure your Deco is up-to-date.

PS: if there is another model in the Mesh system, please make sure all the models support WiFi Access Control(Whitelist).

Thank you very much and Best regards.

Thank you for the detailed info about the X55.

 

Is there a firmware version for the X20 V US/2.6 and X20 V US/3.6 that also add the Wifi Access Control (Whitelist)?

 

Thanks!

Bill

This is truly absurd the way you guys have rolled out this feature.  I have X55's with different version numbers, where the later firmware (1.2.7) on the earlier hardware version (V1.0) does not have the whitelist feature. I know this because when I plug in just the Master Closet - firmware 1.2.0 hardware V1.2, the feature is present, but when I add Solarium and Living Room, the feature gets disabled.  As a sidenote, I have also tried installing the 1.3.1 firmware on another X55 and it would not install.

 

These new V1.0 X55s came in a three pack, and the V1.2 came as a single unit, all ordered from amazon within a day of each other.  The V1.0 X55s do have a later firmware available, but just noting that they are already at a later firmware version - firmware 1.2.7 - than the one confirmed to have the whitelist feature (Master Closet - firmware 1.2.0) and yet don't themselves have the feature.  FWIW, a separate X55 Pro that I tested also did not get the whitelist feature on its current latest firmware.  Craziness. Will update here with a report of latest firmware on the Solarium and Living Room - firmware 1.4.1 - and whether it allows the whitelist feature to work again.

Ok - upgrading the X55(V1.0) to the 1.4.1 firmware added the whitelist feature; surprising that the 1.2.7 firmware (shipped from factory)did not have it while the 1.2.0 does on the X55(1.2). Anyway, pure misery for such a simple, reasonable expected feature. Needed to replace my perfectly fine X20s in order to get this as well in the X55s only it seems. Not a good look for TP-Link.
