Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my frustration regarding TP-Link's inconsistent and fragmented firmware update policy across its product tiers.

It is completely logic-defying to see that newer or mid-tier hardware receives major stable updates while the top-of-the-line flagship models are left running on outdated software for months. This approach causes massive compatibility and management issues within the same mesh network.

For example:

 My Deco BE65 has recently been updated to the latest firmware v1.3.2 (Build 20260912). This new update officially introduces helpful UI additions, such as displaying the Default SSID directly in the device info page.

 Meanwhile, my premium flagship Deco BE85 is still stuck on the old firmware v1.2.1 (Build 20250731).

Because of this firmware mismatch, the ecosystem feels fragmented. The application reads and handles the devices differently, leading to sync issues, routing confusion, and an unstable mesh behavior where satellite units struggle to maintain a clean connection preference.

When customers invest heavily in flagship systems like the BE85, they expect prioritized, or at least synchronized, firmware support. Releasing a major jolt of features to the BE65 while leaving BE85 users in the dark on a year-old build is unacceptable for a premium networking ecosystem.

I hope the support and development team takes this feedback seriously and syncs the firmware versions across the board to ensure the network harmony we actually paid for.

Has anyone else noticed this lag in flagship updates?
