Deco M4R v2 revert to stock firmware failure
Deco M4R v2 revert to stock firmware failure
Good day,
I followed below to flash my deco to openwrt
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-support-for-tp-link-deco-m4r/68940/144?page=8
Anyway openwrt did not go well for me with mesh network.
So, please advise about the proper way to revert back to stock firmware since i could not find it on the web.
Thanks.

@Winded Use Recovery Mode to revert back to official firmware.

@ARGamingPK1 I did with many versions some are doing nothing while others like 1.8.2 is just ended by steady red light without booting up again.
Thanks.

@Winded Did u try to install official firmware directly from OpenWRT ? i think you brick your Deco M4.

@ARGamingPK1 Yes I tried and my 2X decos are good with recovering to openwrt using same steps.
I tried many methods with failure but not a programmer yet.
Thanks.

@Winded I tried OpenWRT too but the 5 GHz wifi performance and range is very slow. I have also reverted to official tplink firmware.

@ARGamingPK1 So you used HTTP method not TFTP and uploaded last update 1.8.2 right?

@ARGamingPK1 Thank you so much reverting was done.
My mistake was not paying attention to led lights colors.
Thank you again.
