Solution Reported Issue and Workaround: Unable to Export OpenVPN Configuration File on Deco
This Article Applies to:
Deco models that support OpenVPN Server
Phenomenon Description:
When configuring a VPN Server with OpenVPN on the Deco, users reported that whenever trying to export the config file, an error message popped up: "Failed to save the information. Please try again later".
It typically occurs in mixed-model Deco mesh networks where the Main Deco unit and one or more Satellite Deco units have differing support for the VPN Client Kill Switch feature.
A similar feedback can be found in #847706 and #846504.
Possible Solution:
- A new firmware will be released in the future to ensure smooth configuration export in all network setups. We will provide updates as the firmware becomes available.
- Currently, it is recommended to temporarily power off all Satellite Deco units first. Once the file is saved/exported, power back on the Satellite Deco units to restore the mesh network.

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience.
I saw that one of the Deco XE75 Pros is on 1.3.1, while the other is on 1.4.999?
-Did you already downgrade one of them? Or did this one never get updated to 1.4.999 beta?
The firmware upgrade needs to be implemented via firmware recovery here:

And the 1.3.1 Build 20251023 firmware bin file can be found here:

I have the same problem with a M4R, FW 1.8.2 Build 20251927 Rel. 36869. Tried to power off the satellite Deco (another M4R) but no luck. Any thoughts?

Hi, would there be other Deco models, apart from Deco M4, in your Mesh network?
Could you please refer to this link to help me submit the Deco App log:

I have a fresh mesh system composed only of 3 Deco X55. I configured my VPN settings and I have the same issue related to saving to the OpenVPN settings. I am on the latest version 1.5.0 Build 202506190 Rel. 69357. At the moment there are no other devices as part of the mesh network.
LE: Nevermind. managed to solve for this by clearing the cache of the Android App. FYI for whoever might still run into this issue !
