Model: Deco BE63  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Newbie, just opened a BE63 (B10000) 2 pack system. First step in on-line setup guides asks for "Hardware Version" number and offers 3 choices: 1.60, 2.60, 3.60. Guide says to find this number on the lable or engraved somewhere on the case. Not True! No such number anywhere on this 8" cylinder device.  Do I care? Does it matter?

 

Apparently TP=Link/Deco offers no on-line or email support, not even a dumb AI robot? So here I am, where is the Hardware Version number if I really need it?

Welcome to the community.

 

Your hardware version is usally on the bottom of the deco as shown in the image below. If it's not there please reply back to this post and I will walk you through another way to find it. Thanks

  @HelpFixDecoApp Thanks, got it. Since it's not labled as "Hardware" or "Version", like the samples, I overlooked it. Also, happy to see this forum works. Got a feeling I'll be back.

If you haven't done so already I would also update your firmware. You can find the instructions in the FAQ below.
