Model: Deco XE75  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 20250722

The Deco XE75 is missing several important settings that matter in dense apartment environments:

  1. Manual channel selection: No way to choose the Wi-Fi channel per band.

  2. Channel width options:

    • 5 GHz: Only 80/160 MHz are available (no 20/40 MHz).

    • 6 GHz: Width control is missing completely.

  3. DFS usage on 5 GHz: No DFS toggle, and “Network Optimization” never moves to DFS channels—even though they’re legal where I live and sit empty, while non-DFS channels are packed.

  4. Static IP in AP mode: Can’t set a static IP for the Deco itself when running in AP mode.

  5. Transmit power control: No way to reduce Wi-Fi transmit power.
     

Impact: In an apartment complex the system tends to blast full-power Wi-Fi at ≥80 MHz on already crowded non-DFS 5 GHz channels, which hurts performance and coexistence.


Feature requests:

  • Manual channel selection per band (2.4/5/6 GHz).

  • Finer channel-width controls (5 GHz: 20/40/80/160; 6 GHz: 20/40/80/160 where supported).

  • A DFS enable/disable option and logic that can prefer DFS when clear.

  • Static IP configuration for the main node in AP mode.

  • Per-band transmit-power settings (low/medium/high or in dBm).

Could you confirm if these are on the roadmap for the XE75 and share any firmware plans? Thanks!
