@Ivan_Mitov @ARGamingPK1 Just got the 1.6.5 firmware (through the app). Still not showing up in TP-Link website.
Other than "improved overall stability" and "fixed some bugs", it also says "after installing, this Deco cannot be downgraded to previous version" (or something like that)
No visible changes, besides the "Wi-Fi settings" page being complicated now for no reason.

Hi, I was also looking for a screenshot of the WiFi setting page. By the way, the 1.6.5 could be downloaded to the official 1.6.2 directly via web UI.
Thank you very much and best regards.

@ARGamingPK1 @David-TP When i try to take screenshot inside the Deco app, it says "this app doesn't allow taking screenshots".
So I'll try to explain as easily as I can:
Before the 1.6.5 update, when you go to "More" tab> WiFi settings in the app; all of "Network name (SSID)", "Password", "Security" and "Band" was under the same page there, one after the other (like the screenshot below, taken from a support article):
But now, the "Security" & "Band" section is inside the "Network name (SSID)" & "Password" section, under an "advanced" option.
So instead of 1 tap, it's taking me 3 extra taps to get from WiFi settings page to Security & Band page.

Hi, I test on both IOS and Android APPs. they all allow taking screenshots so I don't think it was limited by Deco APP.
Can I have your current Deco APP version and mobile number of your smartphone?
For the "Advanced" tab under "Wi-Fi Settings", it has been like this(Security/Band/Hide network all on the next page) for a while, a little bit redundant though.
I can't say for sure why it was designed like this and maybe the engineers hope it is more organized or plan to add more customized settings, like channel selection on WiFi 7 models.
Thank you very much and best regards.

@ImtiazAli Bro that's not the issue in Deco 1.6.5 firmware. They updated the Deco App so that's why some features are up and down now.
