@Duke49th The auto optimization is a fake feature. It does nothing. My Deco X60s have been stuck on channel 42 for 2 years, even though that channel is congested, including my soundbar, which it interferes with.

I'm in the process of confirming that the Nighthawk mesh system can change channels, then it's goodbye TP-Link forever. They've been promising this feature for years, stringing along customers, but this new reply just confirms that they are doing nothing about this problem. It's a basic feature of every router on the market.

 

But TP-Link knows better about your needs than you do.

Absolutely ridiculous that after years of complaints the so called engineers still won't add the manual change channel feature. @david-TP you would be right about the mesh system IF it chose the most uncongested channel. But it doesn't.

  @David-TP Who do I reach out to in order to FULLY reimburse me for your substandard product with a feature you claim to solve this that has fundamental bugs in it? 

 

It is just not good enough to dismiss customers when there are many topics, replies and complaints about this. 

 

If it is too hard for your developers.... I suggest looking for better developers. 

  @Mawaukee Completely agree. I too have been looking at the Nighthawk after reading a lot of positive opinions.

 

My Deco M4 WiFi has been completely ruined by recent updates yet TP-Link will not allow rollbacks for some unknown reason (plus the lack of channel selection, a VERY basic feature!). Last TP-Link product I will be buying - seem to be going downhill, shame.
