All E4Rv1/2 and M4Rv1/2 now had 1.7.0 update with new feature connection preference. You can try update via WEB UI (192.168.68.1 for example)

and download firmware here https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/deco-m4/v1/#Firmware

I'm a disappointed M4v2 user (only one in the world) that can not update to 1.7.0 firmware, coz by the ISP hardware unit Hopefully TPLINK team not forgeting me n can make special firmware for my unit.

  @Deha Yes you can download the firmware 1.7.0 from the link and install it by WEB UI manually and enjoy the new features or maybe your Deco M4 is using ISP Based firmware thats why you did'nt get these firmware updates 1.6.2 - 1.6.5 and 1.7.0

Please & Thank You !! ❤️

  @ryg Thanks for the info, i'll try update using that link and web ui. At first, i think the update will automatically available through deco app, but now i know that maybe for m4r, the update must through web ui. I'll let you know for the update later

Having discovered (by accident) that  an updated firmware for the M4R has been released (although not available via the Deco App !!!), I've updated my firware and happy to see the ability to disable Smart DHCP when configured in Access Point mode has finally been included.  I'm still waiting for all the inappropriated IP allocations to be released.  Will they 'stale out' after a period of time or do I have to take some steps?
