This and even the firmware showing up on the US website. I don't love the idea going to another regions website to get a download for a device I use in the US. If the firmware is ready then just release it in all the places.

How can i upgrade the firmware?
I have the deco M5.
Dont see more --> advanced --> LAN ip in the deco app.
is it possible to push a client to 1 deco with the new firmware? With us, this client keeps changing, but on one deco it has a bad connection and on the other it's good. I actually want him to stay stuck on that deco.

To manually upgrade you have to download the firmware and the go to your primary Decos IP address in a browser (likely 192.168.0.1).
Yes. With 1.6.0 you pull up the device in the Deco app and then click the settings gear in the top right and then connection preference then you can tell it which Deco to prefer.
