@TP-Link I have updated my Deco's, but 2 of them failed to upgrade to the newest firmware. They stay at firmware 1.5.7.
Is there a way to update the other 2? Every time I try to upgrade again it's failing.
The other ones work fines. It's so nice to select the signal source.

@TP-Link I was wondering how testing of this release is progressing and when the final release can be expected to rollout to all units. I'm not keen to Beta test due to work from home.

We are all wondering that Fuzzme.
the questions have been asked many times in this long thread. But those questions are never answered. When is aimed for release? Why only 1 beta for so many months now, when several people have identified issues including my self here. The beta program is strange and not used optimal. I wouldn't recommend either to install the beta when your working from home currently. I would have liked to see for the long time this has been out. At least 2-3 betas with fixes for the findings. I don't believe they can get everything right in one beta. Just look at how Apple is doing it. And they also still fail in their releases despite of that.

I had similar problems with this firmware and working from home made the things worse!
Support requested from me to test a debug firmware but I didn't have the time to test or debug, I had to act ! So I decided to downgrade back to a working firmware using the following guide:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2958/
I had m4 and m5 deco so I had to proceed with the TFTP Solution.
Be advised that you may brick your devices if something goes wrong like disconnect or power failure.

Beta is way too long. I've been on this version for months! I thought I'd be on a several revised editions by now. Prob even an official release! I'm never installing a beta version again. What a shambles @Bolton-UK
