Self update - I chatted with the consultant, they suggested changing a few settings, but it didn't work. They even suggested it was a hardware issue (because they confirmed it had the newest firmware). Eventually I downgraded the version to 1.2.9 and everything started working as it was yesterday. In the app I can see a pending update (to 1.3.0), but I think I will skip it for now.

Anyway - if anyone has any idea what might have caused it, I'll be more than happy to hear to some hypothesis!

Hello!

I stumbled across this thread.

I have three (3) Deco x60 in my house. First, I bought two, then a while back i bought another one. Everything been working great since.

That's until I did the firmware update today (remotely).. My two original Decos was updated to 1.3.0 Build 20240830, but my new Deco was not updated.
When i got home from work I have no internet. Or, actually I have 0,82 Mbit out of the 250..

In all of this i find that the new Deco that didn't get firmware update, says its an X60(EU) v4.2 - while my other two Decos, apparently, are v3.

Right now I'm trying to donwgrade the updated Decos to the previous version to 1.2.9 but I'm Struggling to find that particular version :(

Anyway, so my questions.. are the different versions of the x60 Decos not campatible with eachother? If so, how come this is NOT advertised for the consumer?

And my other questions. Is there a 1.3.0 update for v4.2? Will they work again if they are on same firmware version?

Thanks!

BR,
André

I struggled with finding 1.2.9 too! I found it on the US site, Canadian website didn't have it.

Thanks! I found it on US site. I'm in EU though and the US site warned me to use it... However, im 100% sure that this was the version (1.2.9) that i had earlier on my Decos.

So, I'm halfway through the firmware recovery tool process at the moment. Not the easiest so wish me luck :)

So I managed to downgrade my 2 Decos to previous version 1.2.9 (20240722). I downloaded the version from EN-site since SE (Sweden) didn't have that particular version..

Now everything is working again! Yay!

Here's the links for anyone who might need them:

Download your firmware here: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/deco-x60/v3/#Firmware

Follow this guide to downgrade (method 2, http): https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2958/

Be patience when the Decos are booting back up after downgrade. Particularly the main Deco that needed internet cable to turn green. Satelite decos became green after couple minutes.

Here is a nice sheet for the LED color statuses: https://static.tp-link.com/upload/manual/2023/202311/20231121/7106509732_Deco%20Router%20(37%20Languages)_QIG_V1_2.4G%2b5GBand1&Band2%20(10).pdf

4) Changing 5Ghz channel width 

For whatever reason, just selecting 80 Mhz and hitting save doesn't take immediate effect. However, if you restart your all deco system. It does 100% work. Using the same for last 7 days. 

  @David-TP 

No worries! Yes, I will try to install 1.3.0 on X60v3 again and I'll make sure to get the logs.

  @bartekw how did you downgrade from 1.3? i just updated it today and everything has brick.. cannot connect to anything and i been trying to downgrade. thanks
