@David-TP Does thisfirmware also support X50-POE?

  @David-TP , All,

I think this is important information for product owners and decision makers: 

Deco is advertised as a flexible, expandable system that is compatible with different series. 

After this post and the comments, it turns out that when choosing, for example, the x50 series in the x50, x50-PoE, x50-pro, or outdoor configuration, we do not get the same set of features. I would not comment on the different HW versions.  It seems that R&D is only working on the most popular series and ignoring more demanding users. Unfortunately, this later results in the entire deco network limiting its functionality to a minimum - the device with weakest functionality support - device forgotten by the product owner.

Hardware and performance limitations are understandable, but functionality should be the same for everyone.

I wanted to share some new findings based on the last few days of testing:

• IoT Hotspot more stable 🟢

After switching the 2.4 GHz channel setting from fixed Channel 1 to Automatic, the stability of my IoT devices improved a lot. Reconnect issues after restarts now happen only very rarely.

• Different 2.4 GHz channels per Deco unit 📡

For the first time — after enabling automatic channel selection — my units are using different 2.4 GHz channels:

– Main Deco: Channel 3

– Second Deco (another floor): Channel 10

Not sure if this is a bug or a new feature. But separate channels could theoretically improve 2.4 GHz capacity.

• Previously mentioned issues  ⚙️

– Connection Preference is only rarely ignored after a restart.

– Some IoT devices showing “unknown” or attaching to the wrong Deco happens far less often.

– Traffic stats are still sometimes delayed or inaccurate.

– Roaming, Fast Roaming, and Beamforming remain reliable.

– Device list accuracy is still similar to firmware 1.6.1.
