Hi

 

The link below mentions that the X50 can be used in Internet Backup.mode but I can't find it in the app

 

https://www.tp-link.com/au/support/faq/4246/

 

Is it only available in specific versions ?

 

Mine is US v1.3

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Deco X50_V1.3-1.2.10 hasn't added Internet Backup. V1 with the latest firmware did.

Currently, a new 1.3.1 firmware for Deco X50_V1.3 will be ready for testing, which has added Internet Backup. If you're interested, I'll share it via email, and you can test how it works.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks David I appreciate your reply.

 

I've applied that beta firmware and it looks great - it's also added System Time & Auto Update for firmware too which we have discussed before.

 

I assume Internet Backup is only available in Router Mode too.

 

Do you know when this Beta firmware is scheduled to be released?

 

And will the Internet Backup feature be available on other models like the X20?

 

Regards Rob

Hi, yes, "Internet Backup" is only available in router mode.

The official release will still take a while. We will launch a beta test in the next few days first.

There hasn't been further news about other models. But "Internet Backup" only needs the support on the main Deco if you're in a mixed Mesh system.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

  @David-TP Having just had an internet outage this morning, whilst waiting for online interviews (!!), I've just ordered a 5g sim to go in my X50-5g deco unit, which is currently a satellite on my network.  So I'm really interested in seeing this internet backup option!  If I can get the beta firmware, am I able to then set this up?  Would I need to set the X50-5g as the main unit rather than a satellite? Sorry for all the questions, this sounds really interesting, and would solve my worries!
