I get an reply from the Deco team that are investigating the issue with a question about the model of my main ISP router. I've sent them a reply with the info.
After that I also recieved an email from the customer care team in The netherlands. I was somewhat surprised when I read that 'We cannot do anything with the log file, as these are encrypted and not readable by us'

@PinguinM I am also getting solid red light after update. Rebooted goes to yellow light. Then white light for a min or so then solid red light. Having to downgrade back to 1.5.8. Any updates regarding this?

@Rich0682 Yes. You will have to downgrade via recovery, see the links in the first post.
Just curious question- do you run your Decos in router or AP mode? For the AP mode, there is obviously a stability problem reported by few people including me, I don't really recommend updating to this specific beta version unless the issue is fixed. There would most probably be no benefits with the constant network disturbances.

@vmonkey thank you for your reply. I run the deco in AP mode. But for some strange reason after update the virgin router won't let me access the Internet. I have rebooted but still no Internet. I'm in the middle of resetting the hub.

@Rich0682 Not sure if this helps, but I would proceed as follows: disconnect network cable from the Deco and turn the Deco off. Then restart your router. Connect to your router using ethernet- I would expect internet to work. Then do the downgrade of the Deco and only then connect it back to the original network.

Hi, nice to see you again. Sorry for the delay.
Before you add Deco S4 into the Mesh system of Deco X55, there is a "connection preference" on the Deco APP, right?
Could you please refer to this link to help me submit the Deco APP log:
If possible, could you please help me run a simple test:
1. temporarily disconnect the cable between the main Deco X55 and Deco S4.
2. please check whether there is a connection preference under Deco S4 to select the signal source.
Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP thank you for your responsiveness. i have temporary disconnected the ethernet backhaul and yes there is connection preference to select the signal source. i may have misunderstood this function, but i was expecting to be able to have my devices connected to the network to choose the connection. please correct me if im wrong
