Deco Firmware Updates: Feature Availability and Overview

Released On: 2023-12-12 17:42:01Last update time: 2024-10-01 18:19:04

If your Deco network has received the latest updates and features, but you do not see that they are available in your Deco app, remember that some features depend on the features of the other nodes in your network.

Below, you can find a list of the latest features, their requirements, and potential behavior.

Features	Availability
VPN Server / Client Static Routing Adjustable WAN MTU HomeShield (Parental Controls) IoT Networks, etc.	Available when the Main Deco node supports the feature. *For the IoT network, you can see it on the APP as long as the main Deco supports it, but satellite Deco will not broadcast the IOT network if it doesn't support this feature.
WPA3 encryption, Reboot Schedule, Connection Preferences for Client Devices	Available only when all deco nodes in the network support the feature. In this case, the feature should not appear in your Deco app.
Signal Source Selection for Satellite Units (Backhaul)	These features are independent of other Deco nodes. These features will appear in the units that support the feature.

Please take the following chart as a general guide to what features were added in the recent firmware updates. Check the official Download Pages for your model or the Deco app to see the most recent firmware version available for each of your Deco models.

Pleaae update deco x50 4g, it's still in 1.1.2

Hi when will the M4v2 support 1.6.0?

SneakysssnakeLV12024-02-16 22:14:42

Is the deco px50 same firmware as the x50?

Doesn't look like support responds/acknowledges to inquiries, but going to try anyways - x20 v2 (ax1800).. desperate need of updated firmware. 1.2.4 build 20231206 with no VPN support. If it's not released soon I will need to decommission TP Link and upgrade to a different manufacturer. Updates are too infrequent and having hardware capable of a feature (VPN is one of several), but restricted by lack of firmware updates is extremely frustrating to say the least.

when will the x5700 receive updates?

Do all Deco M5's have to be on same firmware version? My main M5 is at 2.5.10 and two others are 1.7.4. Will this cause problems? I tried to update and get the message that firmware is up-to-date.

I changed my Decos from X55 to XE75. Normally I thought it would be an upgrade, but in hardware revision 2 there is an real old firmware 1.2.9 where all the good features like ECO-Mode, WIFI-White-/Blacklisting, Camara security and so on are missing.

It doesn't look like the V2 will be upgraded, real strange firmware politic.

I think I have to go back to the older X55 model, which is really frustrating.

Anybody here with the same situation?

To All That Stumble on This Thread.

TP-Link is now under FTC Investigation for Lack of Security on their devices.

This explains why TP-Link refuses to add Secure DNS to their Deco Devices.. They have a backdoor they are using to perpitrate Cyber attacks using their Home Networking Equipment.

I will be returning / Tossing ALL TP-Link products as this is a major security concern and the exact reason we ask for DoH / DoT.
