Deco M9 Plus v2 firmware not possible to update and are missing features compared to v1
I have v2 and the DECO app reports that I have 1.2.10 Build 20190809 54285
On the webpage https://www.tp-link.com/de/support/download/deco-m9-plus/#Firmware however there is a newer 1.2.11 20190926 55727
Why does the DECO report that I have the latest firmware and why cant I upgrade to 1.2.11?
On the other hand what Im really asking for is to get the same features as HW v1 got.
You have release 1.3.0 with lots of new features and it was built in August and Released in October. Why dont we get that for revision v2?
All these things was release on Ocotber for revision v2
Modifications and Bug Fixes:
1. Added support for IPTV bridge mode and custom mode.
2. Added IPv6 firewall rules feature.
3. Added Mesh Technology option.
4. Displayed which client is connected to which deco and which Wi-Fi band.
5. Displayed how Decos are connected to each other.
6. Supported up to 64 entries each for Address Reservation and Port Forwarding.
7. Improved the system stability and fixed some bugs.
Notes:
1. Please update your Deco App to the latest version in order to use new features.
2. If there are other Deco models in your Deco network, you may miss some new features till other models release updates in the near future.

In the zip there's the procedure for the Mac version. Scroll down. It shows how to get around the Mac error. Basically right click on the app, show package contents. And within the Mac folder I believe. Run one of the two files. This will open the app along with a terminal window.

i give up, this evening it simply refuse to connect to internet. deleted the network, reset deco's, redid the whole thing, still no internet. reconnected my old netgear, network back up in less than 5 mins.
i was wrong, i should have listened to everyone who warned me of tplink's buggy firmwares. this one is going back to costco. i spent too much time on this already.

I have a question.
My 3 decos are operating as AP.
When I'm using wifi analyzer to check the wifi signal strength, it shows my that I'm connecting to the right wifi ssid of course, but it shows me Mac address that does not belong to any of my decos, how can it possible? It's because I'm on 5ghz channel? 2.4 and 5ghz have different Mac address?
Does anyone have any idea where this Mac address came from?

this is normal
you probably will notice that you have a few starting with the same 8 to 10 characters and only the last 2 will change of the MAC address
so if you have 2 frequencies on all your AP you will have 6 different Mac addresses. If you add another network such as guest for example that would be another 6.

So basically this is what I thought?
That Mac address for 2.4
And additional Mac address for 5
Right?
