Monthly Featured Firmware Updates - Home Networking (Updated April 7th, 2026)

 

 

As a reminder, this project is led by our community team and requires us to review each firmware update individually. Please consider this when requesting updates or confirming compatibility, as we may be able to reach out to confirm, but it is not always readily available. The most accurate and up-to-date notes will always be on your device’s support page.

 

  • Not all hardware versions are guaranteed to receive a feature or update 
  • Only models and updates with significant changes or additions are included
  • General bug fixes and minor updates are largely left out (unless related to recent community feedback) 

 

We may have missed a few models, features, or hardware versions, so always check your device’s download page for the most accurate, up-to-date patch notes!

  @Ryan and team hope you are doing well!!!

 

Can you please share an update on upcoming firmware and app improvements for the Deco BE95? It has been a while since the last major release and the system is currently having several issues, especially with:

  • Roaming stability (clients taking too long to roam or dropping)

  • Newer devices on MLO networks, such as:

    • iPhone 17 (all models)

    • Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Additionally, there are a few limitations in the Deco app that make it hard to properly tune 6 GHz and MLO:

  1. 6 GHz Channel & Frequency Management

    • The app does not allow full control of 6 GHz channels and width in a clear way.

    • If you disable the 6 GHz network on your main or dedicated SSID, the MLO SSID can still use 6 GHz in the background.

    • There is currently no way to adjust 6 GHz parameters (channel, width, etc.) specifically for the MLO SSID.

  2. Network Optimization Behavior & Visibility

    • When running “Network Optimization,” the app automatically applies new channels without showing what is going to be changed beforehand.

    • It would be very helpful if, after the scan, the app prompted a summary of the proposed changes (for example: “2.4 GHz → Channel X, 5 GHz → Channel Y, 6 GHz → Channel Z”) and asked for confirmation before applying them.

    • If 6 GHz is disabled on the main SSID but MLO is still active, the optimization report only shows changes for 2.4 and 5 GHz. It does not show what optimizations are being applied to 6 GHz, even though 6 GHz is still in use via MLO.

  3. Fast Roaming Configuration per SSID / Band

    • It would be very useful if Fast Roaming could be enabled or disabled per SSID or per band, instead of only as a global setting.

    • For example, being able to disable Fast Roaming on 2.4 GHz networks (to avoid issues with older / legacy devices that don’t fully support it), while keeping Fast Roaming enabled for 5 GHz and 6 GHz SSIDs so that newer devices can still benefit from faster, smoother roaming.

These improvements would greatly help advanced users to troubleshoot roaming issues, optimize performance for modern Wi-Fi 7 devices, and better understand how MLO and 6 GHz are being handled by the system.

 

Thank you in advance for any roadmap information and for considering these feature requests.
