Firmware downgrade from 1.2.8 to 1.2.4
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hey ya'll,
I am having many issues after latest FW upgrade (1.2.8) that I related in this post
tl;dr: Some of my devices unable to connect to the network: "No internet connection", some of them are required to re-enter password but it won't work.
Rebooting the main deco will solve it for the next few hours, but all of these issues came like a few days ago.
I want to downgrade the firmware version of both my decos to 1.2.4 as I had when I bought it.
TP-Link is offering the FW version to download but I couldn't find instructions on how to manually install older FW..
Hopefully I will find my answer here.
Thanks!

Can somebody provide the download link for 1.2.4 ? (for hardware version V1)
Oldest version i can find is 1.2.5
I'm running M5 1.3.0 Beta Build 20190529 36613 for a week. So far so good. Give it a try. You can find the download link in this tread -> M5 1.3.0 Beta Build 20190529 36613 NOT 70702!!
I am now also on 36613 , certainly better than 1.2.8, however: today again devices that could not connect,
all LED's on nodes green, and also online according to the app.
After a reboot all is OK again.
I tried all suggestions: removing network, rebooting all nodes, disable fast roaming / beamforming, reserve all devices, etc. etc.
I would really like to install 1.2.4 again, so if anyone has the link, i would be really happy

Sorry! I don't have a link on 1.2.4.
Just curious! What are the devices that lost connection? 2.4GHz or 5GHz? Back in the trouble 1.2.5 version, people disable 5GHz to stablize the network...! Not a good solution at all!

Hi,
Sorry to hear that, while for the firmware, we may not able to downgrade it to 1.2.4.
You can reply to our email and then our engineer will follow up and try to fix it.
Good day.

I'm not sure I changed anything, I just plugged in the main M5, ran the onboarding process from the iOS Application, then disabled the main router's (not deco) Wi-Fi

Yes it is a M5 with the latest firmware 1.2.8. Everything was fine until I upgraded to this version. Now I loose internet connection on certain connected devices where i did not in the past. Rebooting the M5 seems to work for a short period of time and then it starts acting up again. Regular rebooting is my only option at the moment to stay connected. Need to find a better solution / fix or I will need to replace the the M5.

I replied a minute ago.
Implemented now all suggestions, also "disable fast roaming".
The other 2 suggestions are:
- Disable Mesh
- Put Network in AP mode.
-> Maybe it is for debug purposes, but in fact that is disabling all features I bought the deco m5 for.
I don't prefer to do that, then i prefer to test a new Beta or other suggestions.

Update:
I've successfully upgraded to the 1.3.0 beta version. I will give it a few days of running to see if the horrible 1.2.8 was fixed.
Lesson learned - NEVER UPGRADE THE DAMN FIRMWARE
