Deco X90 V1 with firmware 1.1.0

Issue phenomenon:

After upgrading to firmware 1.1.0, there is a feature called “Network Optimization” in the Deco app. Under certain circumstances, clicking this button will cause the disappearance of the 5GHz-1 radio of the Deco X90. Therefore, wireless devices would be connected to the 2.4Ghz, the speed will tremendously decrease.

To recover this, we have to manually reboot the main Deco.

However, it will happen again once we click the Network Optimization button again.

Available Solutions:

This has been addressed, and it will be resolved with the new official firmware. Customers who encounter the speed decrease issue can now update your Deco X90 to the official firmware. Since the firmware release process is applied in sequence, currently it cannot be detected on the Deco APP or web UI online upgrade, you can download it manually from the TP-Link website then update.
