Model: Deco S7  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.5.2 Build 20240927 Rel. 68997

Hello,

 

Could someone tell me why I'm not able to update my firmware?

I'm running 1.5.2 and I'm not able to update to 1.6.1.

 

I have followed the instruction on the tp-link website, and tried to update through the web UI as I don't have the firmware update option in the App.

I have downloaded the 1.6.1 firmware, and when I click on update, it gives the following message - Upgrade failed. Please select the latest version of firmware to upgrade.

  @safsss Maybe your Deco S7 is provided by your ISP which is using ISP Customized Firmware.

  @safsss You can download the firmware from the link below and don't forget to extract the Zip file.

  @safsss Are you able to update 1.5.2 again from Web UI? If not it's mean there is something wrong. Are you sure your hardware region is EU ?

Please & Thank You !! ❤️

I just downladed and upgraded with the 1.5.2 which worked.

I then tried to upgrade with the 1.6.1 version and encountered the same error message.

  @safsss I think your hardware version is V1.20 not V1 and you are trying to install V1 firmware. Kindly check it on the sticker which is down side of the Deco.

Please & Thank You !! ❤️
