Hi, thank you all for the time and patience. All the replies in this post will be viewed daily and normally I am reluctant to make statements for future plans since I could not guarantee everything is expected. But it is clear that the firmware will be released this year.
The latest news is that It is planned to be released at the end of next week and as mentioned before, we don't tend to delay the firmware and keep users holding on again and again. Please take the date as a reference and make proper decisions.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

@David-TP Here's a thought
why not support the efforts to port deco m5 to open-wrt then the community can support this device ongoing and regular updates will then occur and features will be better
i have old tp link routers working really well on open wrt

@brooklyn27 Thanks for the suggestion.
It would be a nice thing to support OpenWRT but users might need certain networking knowledge about Linux operating system. Also, a spare router is needed so that you can experiment without having to worry about your 'live' network. The warranty service about the product would also be a problem when it comes to OpenWRT.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

I understand your point but given that updating Deco appears to be such a low priority and features really need to be improved to support basic functions like guest network security in access point mode by supporting vlan etc, wpa3 support, scheduled optimisation and so on.
Providing openwrt for those who want to go that way would improve the life of the router and actually increase the Market for those who want openwrt support. It has more frequent updates and keeps pace with security patches.

a couple of further comments.
I'm not talking about making open wrt standard
I'm just saying support the Development of an alternative in getting it going. V3.2 hardware support is not available in the gpl downloads for instance.
it's not a warrantee issue as most people who would want that are more expert users who are already out of warrantee and are the ones pushing in the forums for firmware updates.
example access point mode is used by many as we have more complex networks. Without a vlan on a guest network there is no way to separate guest users and we certainly don't want the device in router mode.
Why should we need to constantly re optimise

@TP-Link What exactly will be released? I assume a newer version that includes fixes based on feedback on 1.6.0 ?
If exactly this version will be released, without any fixes on top of 1.6.0, then what is the whole point of a Beta?
