When will we have an update for Deco M9 Plus ? (18 months and counting ...)
Dear team,
I have a network at a location (around 200 m2) that require 6 Deco to properly cover wifi requirements:
- 3 Deco M5 (1.6.0 since yesterday)
- 3 Deco M9 Plus (1.5.6 build 2021-10-18 rel 35617 and 1.5.1 Build 2021-01-26 rel 62679)
While Deco M5 1.6.0 update was published yesterday, Deco M9 Plus (depending on the versions) hasn't received updates in 9 months and 18 months respectively. While 1.6.0 provides lots of new functionalities, many of them are depending on having the SAME version (1.6.0) in the whole Deco network.
Some feedback:
1. By not having a single version associated with a product (M9 Plus) but with 'product versions' - the support website allows to select 7 different ones - TP-Link passes this complexity onto its users. Where we can think we have 3 units of the same product (a 'Deco M9 Plus'), we have at least two, with two different versions (1.5.1 and 1.5.6).
2. The version update frequency is too low for a product that was launched in June 2018 and has received more than 7 hardware updates in the last 4 years.
3. The promised network coverage is far from the reality.
Then, can you share what is the expected roadmap for M9 Plus updates ?
Regards
