Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.
Traffic Usage and Device Info need Deco X50 to serve as the main Deco. I'm afraid we might need to wait for a similar firmware upgrade on the Deco X50-5G.
2) x50 client are solid red after the firmware upgrade, but all appears to be good. why led are all red, and not solid green like before?
- Did all 5 Deco X50s have this issue?
- Would a power restart of these units help?
- How about the Deco App? Did Deco App report them online or offline?
If they are still online on the Deco App but the hardware LEDs are all solid red, could you please log into the web UI on one of the "Red" satellite Deco X50 and help me save the system log?---You could forward the log to support.forum@tp-link.com
-The IP address of a specific Deco unit can be found on the Deco App, such as:
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

Hi, Currently, the 1.8.0 is only available for Deco X50/X55_V1/V1.6. For other models, such as Deco X50-V1.3, Deco M4_v2, Deco X60_V3, Deco X50-outdoor, no further news has been received. We often make new posts when there are important releases, and you can regularly visit our community.
Best regards.

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.
Deco X20-V4.6/Deco X60-V4.6 can't install the 1.8.0 firmware here.
I'll forward your feedback to the senior engineer to see if they can reproduce these issues. Will also keep an eye out for any similar feedback here.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

Hi David, after 1.8.0 upgrade of 5 X50 (all v1.0EU, so i think same hardware inside), the behaviour is somehow strange... Wifi Network performs great, when i restart a Deco, the clients switch to another one in a couple of seconds, so i have noticed a relevant improvement in wifi stability and reliability (also shortened the response time in IoT switches/light command executions). But: - all decos (5 x50 and one x50-outdoor) are wired-connected to the same ethernet, with the x50-5G as main deco/router at the start of tthe wire; - the x50 outdoor and 1 x50 are solid green, other 4 x50 are solid red (after the initial colour sequence and some second of blinking red, as in the past, but previously they turned green after red bllinking) - restarting / power disconnection-reconnection of decos can't change the situation; - using LED control option in deco app (i have the last version) can only turn led off or on, but color does not change; - but the strangest thing is that 2 units of x50, connected to the LAN by the same switch (zyxel xgs1250-12) are both perfectly working after the FW upgrade, but the led are solid red for one and solid green for the other.... (?) I will send to you to support email the system log of these two decos, peraphs your engineers could compare them and find why one is red and other shows green... Cheers! Alex (aka Boezio)
p.s. mail sent to you a second ago... bye!

@David-TP hi
1. Clients started disappearing again 1-2 times. . The client is connected, but it's not visible. After rebooting it was cured.
2. Backhaul issue with x20v4. This access point started losing the link to the main x50. The red light switch on a couple of times.

@Lincoln Maybe because of merging different Deco models.

I confirm that the EasyMesh option is no longer available. When can I try the new release? Has the Intel AX203 error (AC mode, instead of AX) been confirmed?
1. Streaming traffic to GeForce NOW isn't included in traffic calculations
. 2. I can't disable my Advance Network+ subscription. I disable web-filter , but it re-enables itself after a reboot or after a while. The problem is that web filters aren't blocking what they should.

Hi TP-Link team,
I’d like to express my concern and disappointment that the Deco X50 v1.30 model has not been included in the latest firmware updates (such as version 1.8.0).
It seems quite illogical that a mid-to-high range mesh router in this price category still lacks a manual Wi-Fi channel selection option, a basic feature that significantly impacts performance and stability, especially in dense network environments or apartment buildings where interference is common. This limitation is materially affecting my day-to-day use: with heavy 2.4/5 GHz congestion around me, I’m seeing interference, unstable throughput, and periodic device drop-offs because I can’t set cleaner channels manually.
Could you please clarify why the Deco X50 v1.30 is being excluded from the current firmware roadmap and whether there’s any plan or timeline to bring it in line with other Deco models that already received these features?
Many users chose the Deco series for its balance between quality and price, but decisions like this cause frustration and reduce trust in the product line.
We’d really appreciate an official statement or estimated date for when the Deco X50 v1.30 will receive the firmware updates that enable channel selection and other advertised improvements.
Best regards,
