Hi Bar,

 

Thanks a lot for your valued reply; and just take your time to test the performance of the firmware. 

 

Any updates, please let us know. 

 

Have a nice day.

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

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.

@Splee

Kevin has sent me the latest beta version of 1.3.0, After running it for about 2-3 days I can confirm that the issues of the connection drop outs and the "incorrect password" crap has been resolved.

 

I'd recommend moving to 1.3.0 for now as I did not encounter any problems using this firmware version.

 

To anyone who is doing a firmware installation, here's an important note for you:

When you click the upgrade button, there will be a spinner for about 2-3 minutes before you see ANY indication by the program so don't think it's stuck like I did

 

To me, version 1.3.0 has resolved the terrible 1.2.8 so I'll leave it here as the answer.

 

Thanks again to Kevin for his help!!

Hi Kevin

I have a support case open, [TPLINK SUPPORT #254382]: 7609734 Deco M5, but need to downgrade my firmware to the previous version while this is being looked at.  I work from home and have no access to my company's VPN as a result of the firmware upgrade.  I get an immediate "Connection attempt has timed out. Please verify internet connectivity" message.

Can you advise on the process please?

Thanks

Ian

@Espers 

 

Hi, I checked the ticket by the ID you provided, and I found that you have figured it out with my colleague. 

 

Do you still have the downgrade issue now? 

 

What is the current firmware and the previous firmware you wanna downgrade to?

 

Good day.

Hi all,

 

I got some problems with my newly purchased Deco E4R. It can't transmit dual band channel and it's already upgraded to the latest firmware. However, before the upgrade it can transmit dual band channel but only one of the 2 E4Rs can, but now both cant. Is there anyway I can downgrade the firmware? And I live in Indonesia.

 

Before: E4R 1.0_en_1.1.0 Build 20190823 Rel. 43466 Global Version

Now: E4R 1.0_en_1.1.0 Build 20190910 Rel. 66772 ID Version

 

Thank you
