Model: Deco XE75 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.11

Hello, just wanted to voice - I think it's very uncool to strip longtime users of features on upgrades behind paywalls. My m5s were 5+ years old and starting to get flaky so I decided to upgrade to xe75 pro which, I do like a lot. Upgrade in place didn't go so well so I had to wipe network reset the decos and start fresh but they work very well.

 

However I was really unhappy to learn that it seems much of the firewall features of blocking intrusions that I had I now no longer have and I have to subscribe. I might get that for new users but to take it from longtime existing users is a real shame. 


(And, the ISP bandwidth check is gone too, which I liked - is there any hope of this coming back?)

 

I have until Jan 15 to return these, and may if I can find a competitively priced system that gives me the basic firewall protection I'm used to. 

 

Also, does anyone else get "cannot connect to deco" and have to restart app to fix, regularly? I was hoping the upgrade would fix that but that nor uninstall/reinstall of the app fixes it.
