New Release Deco Firmware Updates Adding IoT and Signal Selection for Multiple Models - May 2023
Hey Everyone,
Last week we saw a large number of firmware released for a variety of Deco models. This update brings some of your most requested features, such as IoT and Signal Preference, to more models. We expect the firmware to be brought to as many models as possible, so do not worry if you have been waiting and do not see your model listed below or your update is missing a specific feature. This is also not a comprehensive list and only includes the most recent firmware releases from last week, so please check for available firmware updates for your specific hardware version.
Some of the key highlights for each update are listed below. However, additional features such as DynDNS and MTU packet size customization may have been added in your specific update. For the complete patch notes and added features, please visit your hardware version’s download page.

Keep in mind while many of your network's features are determined by the features of your main node, there are specific features that require each node on your network to be compatible. Otherwise, the feature will not appear in your Deco App.

@Riley_S " IoT Network Added "
This is WiFi only and not a vlan on the wired side that you can add devices to, correct?

This is correct, the IoT Network feature is specific to wireless devices.
Saying that, Device Isolation, should be available to any devices connected to your network, including wired clients. Device isolation is a separate feature for isolating devices on any of your wireless networks and your wired devices.
Is Wired Guest Network or Wired IoT Network functionality something that would prove highly useful to everyone? If so, I would be more than happy to forward the request to our team with a few examples of how it could be useful

Yes, I think this would be important functionality, particularly for the IoT isolation. The simple and best example is that not all IoT devices only connect by wifi. Some are wired only.

@Riley_S Any insight if the Deco PX50 will get any update soon? I'd like to get that reboot schedule feature instead of manually rebooting every few days.

Is anyone able to get the OpenVPN server working? I updated my Deco XE75 to the latest firmware and setup openvpn as I have done in the past with other TP-Link units, but this time, client machines refuse to find and connect to my openvpn server, with a connection timeout message. Can anyone let me know if they were able to get openvpn working and what I should change to fix this.

@Riley_S My expierence so far is that both the Guest and IoT neworks are performing poorly compared to how the Guest network performed prior to this update.

Once again TP Link disappoints. The big message... TP Link releases new firmware for a lot of models. I have a Deco x20 that is 2 yeras old. The firmware is two years old and there have been no updates since then and on my hardware vesion 1.26 there are no updates. Firstly in todays networking environment you are telling me that no security issues have taken place in two years - ah I doubt that. Secondly you sell us on new features but it I can't update my old equipment to utilitize them - why would I upgrade to your newer equipment?? Thirdly you read anout beta firmware that has these features but you can't even find it or worse it never progresses past beta. I liked your products but I am to the point I can no longer use it and I definately can't recommend it to my clients. Perhaps I am missing something so please educate me.

I also noticed issues with this update which I posted here: Link
As I tried to roll the firmware update back and it did not work, I'm stuck on this version. So I have to turn off the satellite decos after my work day is done, and turn wifi off on my phone so it doesn't echo for those calling me.
Good to know the team is working on it. Thank you!

Thank you, did the update and added the iot network.
The update seems to be a little less stable , the devices with wifi backhaul sometimes go down...
Besides that the update has been amazing...
Is there a difference between guest network and iot network from a security and internal perspective (besides the security warnings about shutting off the guest network and the timer to keep guest network on for x amount of minutes)?
Is there device isolation between the main network, guest , and iot one?
