@David-TP It fix ignore of preferred Deco settings for devices. At least for me. It was such a pain for wi-fi cam in my 5 deco unit system.

Opps, my bad... Still ignoring settings. both: connection prefference and disabled mesh technology. At least now it initially connects to the right unit for a while and then switch to whatever it want.

  @atypicalone  one of my satellite was ignoring preference and mesh after installing this. I had to reboot it a few times to get it working again. 

There seems to be a delay with the scene acceleration between say watching Netflix and have the app appear under QOS as accelerated

Also can someone explain the differences between scene acceleration and device acceleration please. Can I have both a device accelerated and a scene that device is running at the same time. For example a scene with Netflix and a device TV how does QOS work in this instance?

Finally if I set bandwidth control on a device and then add that device to QOS. Does that bandwidth limit get ignored? .

Hi David, thank you for the Beta software update, updated 2 of my Deco's X50 through the web browser manually with the provided file.

One good thing I notice about from this round of firmware update is that Tp-Link has improved its device detection through MAC address feature, namely Client Identification, hope you can add in that into the patch notes for the official firmware release and hopefully for all of the Decos in the future as well.

Also, more icons has been added to further identify the IP devices that is present on the network, which I find it very useful in helping us to tag individual devices correctly and accurately.

 


Moving on to the QOS, I'm still having troubles on understanding how it works, because when turned on with Scenes Selection, my bandwidth is throttled to half most of the time (my ISP is 500Mbps currently) despite setting accelerated devices under it, I found out that using Speed Test by Ookla I need to set it under the Utilities App function, but if I want to remove all the Scenes, it does not allow me to do so once set.

The only way to go about it, is to set a custom scene, and then remove the others, and then finally deleting the custom scene manually by scrolling to the bottom part of it.


Hopefully Tp-Link can release this future firmware as soon as possible for the other Decos as well, we need ECO and this soon.

>>Hi, May I know the model number of your mobile devices that don't respect the connection preference?

dahua dh-sd2240db network ptz camera and logitech harmony hub - both 2,4 ghz IOT network

  @David-TP  thanks for clarification. As my connection is slow 70up and 18 down am I better off using device or scene acceleration or the per device bandwidth limiter.

Most of the traffic would be  browsing, gaming and streaming.

On another point how does this new scene based QOS compare to something like eero's SQM?

  @David-TP  fyi, I have a scene setting with Netflix in it and have been streaming Netflix for the last hour without it showing up in  accelerated apps.
