After update to a last beta https://static.tp-link.com/upload/beta/2022/202202/20220225/Deco_M5_1.6.0_20220214.zip I got a lot of connection issues, CheckPoint VPN and Microsoft Azure connection problems, etc . Deco reboot and reset + new configuration - nothing worked.
Only rollback to a previous beta firmware fixed my problems.
Can confirm, after going back to first beta version, VPN and command line tools worked as expected.

@TP-Link I have a strange notice in the monthly report which tels my wifi password has not been changed for more than a year when my Deco network itself is not set up for more than a year.
I submitted a ticket using the web form (not the app) but providing the version and other information hoping it will be OK and prefered to notice it also on this topic.

@Nardol Thank you and I have got your email. Please try to reply to the email with the requested information.
Lucas22111,Kokw and eduardoRoth, I see you mentioned some similar issues about "CheckPoint VPN and Microsoft Azure connection problems", can I have more details about the remote access VPN and Microsoft cloud server issues, like unable to connect to the VPN server, unstable VPN connection or something else?
Thank you very much.

In my case I use CheckPoint EndPoint VPN and with the latest version of the beta firmware the connection is always stuck in "Downloading network topology". When using "npm" with "NodeJS" to install packages, the process is stuck as if it's trying to connect to the server.
Also, with latest version, I see my Macbook Pro three times, it's connected through ethernet and it goes through the three Decos, so I guess it's assigning one IP per Deco.

Well tried this new beta firmware. Broke more than the previous iffy version.
My Drayton wiser heating system was unable to connect to the cloud. Lots of issues with my sonarr/radarr setup getting errors out the blue.
Tried deleting and starting the mesh from fresh still issue's.
Installed the previous beta firmware (lucky it lets you go back to it!) And although I'm sure I will have to reboot my network every so often all the problems magically vanished!
Only tplink can release a newer firmware that makes more problems than it fixes

@David-TP I also have connectivity issue when making à docker pull.
It looks like if there are more than three simultaneous downloads, other are "waiting".
Updating Home Assistant container takes aproximatly half an hour since I updated to 1.6.0 20210214, before it was less than five minutes.
I talk about three simultaneous downloads because when reading my terminal, I have three "Downloading" which are near their end but frozen, and others have their state to "waiting".
What is 100% sure is now docker pull is very long.
