Model: Deco XE75  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hi! I recently upgraded to XE75 from M5. Happy user for a long time. 

I am a bit confused with the firmware platforms here https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/653102

I understand you're trying to unify the firmware and most probably custumizing and releasing for each device model.

 

* I currently have 1.4.x installed, and have EU/V1. I am getting penalized because of having V1? 

* Should I expect the 1.5 firmware for the XE75 in the future? Or we should vote for the new features and eventually get the firmware if there is enough vote? 

 

I am sure embedded software is hard and you can not release all these new features for all hardware revisions, but it's frustrating for me to understand how all these devices getting updates. My main expectation is to have a Wireguard VPN Server/Client running on Deco. Should I send all back and get X50?

Hi, welcome to the community.

Post # 653102 helps users understand the supported features of current firmware and what new features are planned to be added.

(If there are some exceptions, they will also be listed in the post)

 

Deco XE75_V1 will receive a 1.5.x firmware that supports WireGuard VPN as well as other new features. However, the bad news is that there isn't a clear ETA for this specific firmware. If you just bought Deco XE75, compared with Deco X50, Deco BE85/BE65 might be a better choice. They both support  6GHz WiFi, WireGuard VPN, and Channel Selection.  It is also the Black Friday big sale season where you can find some great discounts.

Thank you very much and best regards.
