Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I recently bought a 2 pack of Deco M4 pods to add to 3 existing ones I already had.  The new ones I got happen to be V3.0 (the older ones I have are V2.0).

 

Recently, my V2.0 pods updated to firmware 1.7.0 and I was able to use the connection preferences feature.  My V3.0 pods are on 1.6.1 and since adding them to my home network, I cannot use the connection preferences feature anymore.

 

Is there any way I can install the 1.7.0 firmware on my M4 V3.0 pods? I have been seeing threads when 1.7.0 was Beta, and there was an option to manually flash the firmware for V1.0 and V2.0 M4 pods.  Is this option available for the M4 V3.0?

Hi, welcome to the community.

The 1.7.0 firmware for Deco M4_V2 can't be used for Deco M4_V3.

May I know where you purchased the Deco M4_V3?

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Thanks for the reply, i figured as much.

 

I bought a 2 pack of the V3.0 M4 deco pods off Facebook Marketplace, but I am located in Ontario Canada, so i can only assume the original purchaser bought the V3.0 units within Canada. 

 

I already had 3 M4 (v2.0) pods that i bought last summer, and i was hoping to get a couple more for some other rooms in my house.


I didnt know there were several versions of the M4 pods.  They look identical, and it wasnt until i noticed a few of my outdoor cameras were loading very slowly and i couldnt see the "connection preference" in the app.  That was when i realized the two pods i just bought (which are the V3.0 ones) are still on 1.6.1.  My three V2.0 pods are currently on 1.7.0

 

Do you know if the V3.0 pods will be getting 1.7.0? I would really like to be able to use the connection preference feature.
