Note:
1. Please be sure you have read the Beta Test Agreement before upgrading the Pre-release firmware!
2. It is recommended that all Decos in the network be upgraded to beta firmware.
3. Please also check whether there is a firmware update for the Tapo device in the Tapo APP. If so, please update the Tapo device to the latest firmware.
4. How to update the satellite Deco units:
When the satellite Decos are offline, they may not be successfully upgraded through the Web UI. In this case, it is recommended to upgrade according to the following steps:
- Please temporarily power off most of the smart home devices and wait for the satellite Deco come back online.
- Once all the satellite Deco units are confirmed online, try upgrading to the beta firmware again through the Web UI.
-If the main Deco and satellite Deco units are on different models, you could also update the satellite units individually through its IP address.
- After ensuring that all Deco units have been successfully upgraded, power on the Tapo devices again and observe if the issue is resolved.

I've upgraded my Deco P9 fleet to the provided firmware p9-SP1-up-ver1-2-1-P1[20240925-rel74665]_2024-09-26_09.21.29
I've manually loaded firmware to each of Deco P9 using web browser.
Unfortunately results are almost the same. All of the slave P9 devices are offline.
The only significant change is that now I can see wifi clients on the main deco in the app.
@David-TP Can I also kindly ask you to provide my feedback from the following topic ?
More than six Deco P9 devices in one mesh network

I'm 100% sure my actual network is suffering. I took one P9 off to try and reconnect but that won't even join again now.
I've managed to reconnect P9 slave device to the network with beta firmware installed using the following procedure:
1. Reset slave device.
2. Create new network in Deco app using this slave device as master.
3. Login in to the master device of the newly created network using browser and its IP address.
4. Downgrade the master device to the latest non beta firmware through the browser.
5. Reset it.
6. Now you can add the device to the network with master on beta firmware. Newly added device will be even shown online in the App.

Same, my P9. The main one only works in app. Others appear offline.
Updated to beta on the app and made no difference.
Is there an even newer firmware yet, to even try to fix this ?

Only master Deco P9 is online in the APP after updating firmware to latest beta. Updating APP to the latest beta doesn't fix the situation.
