@CenterInYou very strange France is earlier than US :)
Usualy it does not make any issue to use firmware from other country website as it looks to be the same firmware for everyone so you might try even if I won't tell you there is no risk at all...

I can't activate WAN unicast option after update this version. By the way my deco m5 became more smooth after this update.
Thanks in advance.

Are there some users owning a Nuki smart lock 3.0 pro who have updated their Deco network to 1.7.3?
If yes, are there some change about stability of the connection? Or are there the same amount of disconnection/reconnections?
If it really worth to update or if I should keep the actual version I have before contacting TP-Link and have a remote session to eventually find how to solve this annoying issue?

@TP-Link I keep trying to upgrade from
| 1.7.0 Build 20230504 Rel. 63624 to 1.7.1 Build 20230608 Rel. 74023 |
The upgrade is never successful, as after upgrade the firmware is still 1.7.0 Build 20230504 Rel. 63624. What is the issue here?
I cannot download firmware from https://www.tp-link.com/my/support/download/deco-m5/v2.10/ as it never be option to download and upgrade firmware manually for US V2.10
Kindly advise. Thanks.

So this is interesting. The old m5 deco which I have never used had firmware 1.5.7 on it. I just now upgraded the firmware on it and it has only gone to 1.7.1 so I can only think tplink have removed 1.7.3 from certain devices now to upgrade the firmware.
I have tried searching the latest firmware update via phone app and PC. Both say 1.7.1 is the latest.

@budgie29 bro just download the 1.7.3 firmware through this link https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/deco-m5/v3/#Firmware (check your hw version and change it accordingly) and upgrade it using the web interface (http://<your primary m5 ip>)
