S4 v2 Firmware Update
I've just been browsing the site, chewing the cud, when I noticed there was an update to the S4 v2 firmware (version 1.6.1) launched on 5 February 2024.
The firmware has 'Fixed some security vulnerabilities'. So, important then.
However, this update does NOT show up in the Deco app (I am running the 'beta' firmware for source selection). The app says I am "up to date"
I am reluctant to take the plunge and install this via the web interface.
Has anyone installed this firmware? Any feedback?
Thanks in anticipation

just to answer my own query, I have updated the beta firmware (1.5.1 with signal selection) to 1.6.1 (which has security improvements). No problems doing this, took about 5 minutes. You lose the signal selection capability of 1.5.1 beta though.

This is somewhat strange, as according to TP-Link signal selection comes with firmware 1.6.*: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/631936
Can you share "Update Deco" page screenshot from your Deco app, example:

Thanks. Everything looks in order.
You should be having signal selection capability with firmware 1.6, not sure what is going on. Just in case, power off all your Deco units and then after 4-5 minutes power them on, starting with Main Deco. After that, check if Connection Preference selection came back for Satellite Deco.

I have seen nothing new about it on this forum. Looks like to have have connection preference for S4 V2 you may need to rollback somehow to beta firmware 1.5.1 from here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/651248
