| Deco X55_V1 | Deco X55_V1_1.5.5- updated 2024.8.12 |
Note:
1. *According to the user feedback and our further test, this 1.5.1 version does not support reverting to 1.4.1 via downgrade firmware recovery directly.
-Ever since 1.3.0, the firmware bin file has been over 32MB which passes the maximum file size of the HTTP uboot upgrade tool. So if you want to revert to 1.4.1, please refer to the following suggestions:
- Still run a firmware recovery on one of the satellites Deco X50 first.
- Try to upload an older official version, 1.2.2_Build_230301.zip for example,
- Then update to 1.4.1 from 1.2.2 via web UI.
- If this process works for the satellite Deco X50, We could repeat it on the main Deco later.
2. Please make sure the Deco APP is up-to-date.
3. Some features might not be available when there are other models in the Mesh network.

@DonS2001 Hi, welcome to the community.
This beta firmware couldn't apply to Deco X55_V1.2. But this beta test works well, the similar firmware will be soon rolled out to other Deco models.
Best regards.
Hi, I found one old post with the similar issue 160mhz on Samsung devices-273396. In the meantime, I found other users discussed the similar issue on Reddit-JaggerXXVIII .
The 160Mhz often uses several DFS channels that are also used by radar systems, such as weather, military, and airport radars. To avoid interfering with these systems, Routers tend to switch to another channel if they detect the presence of radar signals. Wireless NIC manufacturers or software coders might disable these channels in the mobile devices to mitigate liability. I think this issue is more due to the mobile devices themselves.
Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP Could someone who has tried the new VPN WireGuard protocol on the router in client mode kindly share their experience? What is the maximum download and upload speed achieved? Is the connection stable? I ask this, among other things, because in my case, with the Deco X55 configured in server mode, the maximum speed I reach when connecting from outside the house barely reaches 15-20 MB out of the 600 MB I have contracted, understanding that it may be due to hardware limitations preventing faster speeds. Thank you very much.

@Whitesnake
My subscribed speed is 500Mbps down/ 100Mbps up, not fantastic pings, but can nearly achieve close to max speed.
Running on free ProtonVPN, setup with Wireguard

@David-TP I have a question regards the new speed limiter. I've limited my PS5 to 20dl but when downloading a PS5 game the device itself within the deco app shows it's using all my 70mb dl bandwidth.
Is the 20mb down limit I have set not working?

Hi everyone,
upgraded to beta firmware on my 2 Deco X50 EU v1. Users have random disconnections since the upgrade and decided to roll back ( Downgrade ).
Downloaded the Deco X50_V1_1.3.1_230824 and Deco_X50_1.0_1.4.1_20231122_US_EU_CA_JP , set the deco to Firmware recovery , used 192.168.0.1 tp upload the firmware but after 5" of upload i received the following message
Caption
I've double checked the tag under the device , it writes Deco X50 EU v1.0. Both firmware files tried are correct.
Can you please help downgrade?

After setting the limit on the wired connection, the speed did not change. but over time it fell below the limit (50мбит=>9.5mbit). and QOS also does not prioritize streaming when fully loaded 100mbit link/100mbit xbox download (Both device and scenarios)
