Deco S4 Connection Preference Firmware Update

Model: Deco S4

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.7.0 Build 20250718 Rel. 68299

Hi team,

Could you please release a firmware update for the Deco S4 to support connection preference? I've recently purchased a set of three and the non-main satellites are forced to connect to the main one. Being able to chain them would be highly impactful for my use case, since the main satellite is forced to be on one end of the house.

The physical locations of my Decos are as follows:

Deco1 (main) ----- 10m ----- Deco2 ----- 10m ----- Deco3

The issue here is that Deco3 is being forced to connect to Deco1, even though it has the weakest signal.

I've tried downgrading my firmware because apparently an older version supports this, but WebUI does not allow for downgrades from 1.7.x to 1.6.x.

Is someone able to help with this? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, welcome to the community.

Here is a beta firmware that has added the Connection Preference feature. I've left a message with this firmware. Please test whether it helps with the reported issue.

Wait for your reply.
