@TP-Link any word of when 1.7.1 will be pushed to update via the app in the the US?

  @CenterInYou it looks like this update is slowly available via OTA, the best way to update quickly is to download it from TP-Link support and update manually.

  @David-TP 

I'm experiencing constant disconnects and battery drain with Nuki SmartLock 3.0 Pro since updating my M5 network (4 devices total) to 1.7.1. How do I downgrade to my previous flawlessly working 1.6.5?

  @David-TP Before downgrading I tried enabling ECO mode on Deco but set to "Power mode - Normal mode". Since then no more disconnects. Could be some bug while ECO mode is disabled on Deco?

  @TP-Link  i just updated a couple of 2021 firmware M5 to 1.6.1 (what was offered) and it wont offer the 1.7.1 update 

is there a way to force them to check ?

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

Since you have 4, I would suggest picking one M5 first and downgrading it back to 1.6.5 via firmware recovery, then connecting the smart lock to this M5 and checking whether it helped with the disconnection and battery drain.

If everything went back to normal, we could consider downgrading the rest of them.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Tried the firmware recovery to downgrade from 1.7.1 to 1.6.5  as you suggested but it was failed, as shown above.

Both tftpd64 and solarwinds tftp server failed.

Upgraded our M5's to 1.71, against my better judgement. Already have had to reset the network...3 hours later.

We have 15 x M5's on this net. Was perfectly stable with 1.65.

So what are the cheat codes for ensuring stability? I've seen disabling beam forwarding, fast roaming, enabling device isolation on problematic devices. Possibly changing DNS?

Same symptons as others. App says everything looks like, but devices slow to a crawl or cannot connect to the internet at all. And even though App says things are good, the refresh rate on metrics...well, it almost freezes up entirely. Resetting the main seems to do the trick.

  @XWEBNetwork Yeah, this pretty rough. Third reset today alone. 

 Hi All, just to add my experience of the latest firmware (1.7.1) to the mix:

Ive got 5x m5 units which cover our house and our yard in the following configuration:

This has been working great for a year or so now, I get near ~50mbit download and maxmimum (20mbit) upload when running ookla speedtest at YARD2 which is the furthest from the main router node. Our connection is fttp 100/20mbit and is very stable.

Behaviour now:

YARD1 and YARD2 have flashing red lights and the deco app rightly states they are offline, however all connections still work fine!!?? I am able to connect to the wifi from either unit and use the internet connection as before. The devices wirelessly connected to either YARD1 or YARD2 appear as ethernet connected devices at MAIN when I look at the devices list in the deco app. We have IP cameras covering several buldings and they work fine so connectivity seems to be no problem.

Ive noticed also that web browsing from some (not all) devices seems to experience regular timeouts when following links and speed for programs such as teams/zoom is also erratic. On the whole we still have a fairly decent set up but it is quite erratic for certain devices and ive noticed the regular timeouts for web access doesnt seem to be consistant (ie some sites are fast, some seem laggy as hell!). EDIT: this is across all nodes so devices connected to ANNEX and KITCHEN also experience laggy behaviour (intermittently).

Settings are as follows:

- Fast roaming disabled, this was done some time ago as certain devices (android phone) were losing wifi all the time. Turning this off made it solid.

- Beamforming enabled.

- DNS servers are set to googles 8.8.8.8 server (and the correct secondary 8.8.4.4). This is for IPv4 and the equivalent v6 version. 

- SIP ALG enabled (not sure if this is strictly needed but we do use Voip)

- UPNP is on but most devices have it disabled

Its been pretty good up until around a week or two ago which coincides (ish!) with the 1.7.1 update. Not yet convinced to do a firmware regression back to 1.6.5 but unless a new update it forthcoming soon I might just do it and go through the pain of reconfiguring everything.

Hope this helps?!?? :)

EDIT: Ive also noticed even before 1.7.1 the device lists in the deco android app are not particularly up to date nor useful as they show devices attached to nodes i KNOW are not. Ie it will sometimes show a device connected to ANNEX when I know it is physically too far from it to possibly be connected there, it should be shown as connected to KITCHEN etc...
