Model: Deco X20  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.6.1

I have a set of three Deco X20 units, US/1.26, firmware 1.6.1. I cannot get the IOT network menu to show in the Deco app.

 

I have tried all the suggestions, including reboot, reset, factory reset, removing all units but the main unit, etc. Nothing works.

 

Is there anything else I can try?

I believe I know the issue. You are currently running firmware 1.6.1 which means your on Firmware Platform 1.6.0. IoT support wasn't added till Firmware Platform 1.7.0 & 1.8.0

 

 

You can see all of this using the chart below.

@Ryan or @David-TP 

 

Just making sure I am reading the chart right? Also is there a beta for the X20 that would give them the IoT option? Please advise. 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

But v1.6.1 is the latest official firmware version for this X20 model. I thought all X20 models already support IoT.

If you look at David's post above he corrected me. Your units are currently on firmware platform 1.5.x and IoT support wasn't released till firmware platform 1.7.0 & 1.8.0.

 

So your deco's hardware does support IoT networks it's the firmware you have that doesn't support it yet.

 

Has for when your firmware will be update to support IoT networks I have no details on that. That is a question for David or Ryan 

 

Thanks.
