@Ryan 

 

Hi @Ryan and TP-Link team,

 

I’d like to express my concern and disappointment that the Deco X50 v1.30 model has not been included in the latest firmware updates (such as version 1.8.0).

 

It seems quite illogical that a mid-to-high range mesh router in this price category still lacks a manual Wi-Fi channel selection option, a basic feature that significantly impacts performance and stability, especially in dense network environments or apartment buildings where interference is common. This limitation is materially affecting my day-to-day use: with heavy 2.4/5 GHz congestion around me, I’m seeing interference, unstable throughput, and periodic device drop-offs because I can’t set cleaner channels manually.

 

Could you please clarify why the Deco X50 v1.30 is being excluded from the current firmware roadmap and whether there’s any plan or timeline to bring it in line with other Deco models that already received these features?

 

Many users chose the Deco series for its balance between quality and price, but decisions like this cause frustration and reduce trust in the product line.

 

We’d really appreciate an official statement or estimated date for when the Deco X50 v1.30 will receive the firmware updates that enable channel selection and other advertised improvements.

 

Best regards,

  @Pelaozoom Thank you very much for speaking my mind. There are users in Bangladesh, including me, who are very disappointed with this hardware. There are no advanced features, no updates at all. Despite sending many emails and complaints, I have not received any response. I have failed in a way.
