Hi, I still check this post daily, but no longer respond regarding the ETA of version 1.7.0 unless I receive additional updated information
There are still minor version upgrades for Deco M4_V2, like the upcoming 1.6.3, but version 1.7.0 is still under testing and not yet ready for release.
Best regards.

@David-TP Well, after how many days the update will come is still uncertain hahaha... 1.6.3 It was an EU update not a US update. Did you know that those of us who updated the beta version can't install the 1.6.3 update????

ok, I don't expect a stable 1.7 version. I was wondering that there is a new beta version available to continue testing.

I hope I'm not the 10000th asking this question.
I have a 3x Deco S4 V2, with firmware 1.6.1 Build 20231228 (always updated via the Deco app, never installed beta versions to my knowledge).
However, I do not have the option to set a connection preference in the app. I am guessing the build number of the 1.6.1 firmware is too low/old, is that correct?
If the low build number is the reason for the missing option for connection preference, may I ask when (approx.) the stable update via the app will be released to enable connection preference for the S4 V2?
Thank you very much in advance for answering!!

Hi, welcome to the community.
You are right that the 1.6.1 firmware version hasn't added the option to set a connection preference in the app.
The previously anticipated release date is inferred from concrete indicators, while currently, the engineers wouldn't like to share any information regarding the firmware, making it difficult to predict an approximate date.
I'm still asking the engineers for a regular update and will keep the community informed if there is any possible news.
Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP I've just added a fourth M4 to my network. It is on 1.6.2, but all of the others are on 1.7.0 after updating a few months ago.
I don't seem to be able to force the new M4 to update to 1.7.0. Choosing to update via the webinterface shows nothing useful, it just tells me updating will take some time and reboot, I click upgrade and nothing else happens.
Is this expected behaviour?

@larkim 1.6.2 is for EU firmware of M4, most likely the other 3 Decos have US firmware

@ImtiazAli The 1.7.0 is a beta firmware which I've applied to my (UK) units to enable the connection "choice" preference. The issue is that I've now bought a fourth unit which should be able to be updated to the 1.7.0 as I did with the other three units, but the manual firmware update via the web page doesn't appear to work, and there's no reason why it shouldn't.
