Deco X50_V1	Deco X50_V1_1.5.5- updated 2024.8.12
Deco X55_V1	Deco X55_V1_1.5.5- updated 2024.8.12

Note:
1. *According to the user feedback and our further test, this 1.5.1 version does not support reverting to 1.4.1 via downgrade firmware recovery directly.

-Ever since 1.3.0, the firmware bin file has been over 32MB which passes the maximum file size of the HTTP uboot upgrade tool. So if you want to revert to 1.4.1, please refer to the following suggestions:

Still run a firmware recovery on one of the satellites Deco X50 first.
Try to upload an older official version, 1.2.2_Build_230301.zip for example,
Then update to 1.4.1 from 1.2.2 via web UI.
If this process works for the satellite Deco X50, We could repeat it on the main Deco later.

2. Please make sure the Deco APP is up-to-date.
3. Some features might not be available when there are other models in the Mesh network.

@Kevin_Z

OK for me the only solution to manage 1.5.1 firmware problem with 0 online clients was to downgrade to version 1.2.2 Now system is up and running smoothly - all 70+ clients are online and iphone and ipad connect easy to any 2.4 ghz or 5ghz network.

I am almost happy!

What makes me upset is unability to update my 4 ver. 1 Decos with 1.2.2 and 2 ver. 1.2 Decos with 1.2 firmware with local upgrade to version 1.4.3! Upgrading process starts successfully, file uploads and update is initiated, but when it reaches about 50%, it stops and system reports, that upgrade failed and offers to use the latest file

Is it possible to explain why i fail and how to finish?

@nixuspix

Hi, Deco X50_V1 and V1.2 couldn't use the same firmware. For V1.2, 1.2.0 Build 20231229 Rel. 43148 is already the latest firmware version.

For Deco X50_V1_1.2.2 Build 20230301, you should be able to update to 1.4.1 Build 20231122.

Did you update to 1.4.1 directly via web UI, instead of the firmware recovery tool?

Did it help if we unplug the other 3 satellite Deco X50_V1, and only update the main Deco X50 to 1.4.1 first?

By the way, if you click "online upgrade", which version would be detected, 1.4.1 or 1.5.1?

@David-TP

Hi!

1. Yes i've been upgraded using Web UI, since it was told that size of 1.4.1 bin file is over 32mb

2.If i click Online upgrade it offers 1.5.1 ( i suggest not to offer this version for download, since so many people failed with this version)

3. I will try to upgrade to 1.4.1 with Web UI starting with main Deco only later today and report.

Thank You so much for advice

@Kevin_Z

It's connected via Ethernet. I don't have any settings to deactivate Private MAC. (Windows 10)

I didn't use the QoS, only the speed limit.

It's as if the deco x50 is too slow and doesn't filter it ? I don't know.

@David-TP Hi David,

After being on the X55(US)_V1_1.5.1 Build 20240417 firmware for about a month, I can say that the frequent disconnect issue has resolved, though I have noticed a couple of new issues now:

1. The main deco randomly restarts completely every so often, it's happened about 4 or 5 times total since mid-May.

2. I seem to have the issue with devices not showing up in the app. I attached a screenshot of this, I have close to 60 devices on my network but the only 3 that show up are the 3 TP-Link smart plugs that I have. Everything else shows as not being online

Is there a way to downgrade this firmware back to an earlier version? I read that there's an issue with downgrading due to current firmware sizes being greater than 32MB which is the max that the installer can handle. I just need the full stability back and the ability to actually view the clients on my network, thanks in advance.
