Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.6.0

Hi

I am not able to upgrade to homeshield pro, instead see the norton upgrade? 

Also wanted to use kidshield but do not get the option when creating a profile. 

 

Please help as bought the deco due to these parental controls. 

Thanks

Hi, is your Deco M4_V3?

Deco M4 doesn't support the HomeShield service kit. The Norton VPN service is part of the "Device Antivirus" On-The-Go service kit, which is available for non-HomeCare/HomeShield models, such as Deco M4/S7/S4.

The service kit follows the main Deco. If you add a Deco X10/X20 as the main Deco, you could enjoy the HomeShield and KidShield service kits.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

No, Deco M5 doesn't support HomeShield either.

You can add a main Deco from the following compatible list:
