Deco XE75 downgrade from 1.3.2
Hello
After updating to firmware version 1.3.2 I have multiple issues with clients connecting to 2.4G network. I enabled IOT network, which somehow fixed clients connecting to my main 2.4G network and they stayed connected when I turned the IOT off. But now one device (a indoor monitor from Dahua) can't connect to the cloud, while other monitors connect normally. I also notice that other devices on wirelles network can't access internet but they are connected to WI-FI. So I would like to downgrade to previous version, which was 1.2.9. Can I do that via web UI?

Now it's working. So, the Dahua monitors have a static IP address. Even if there was no IP conflict, I enabled DHCP on the monitor that had connection issues and it imediately connected to cloud services. And right after that I changed it back to static IP with the same settings as it was before and it stays connected to the cloud and everything works as it should. I don't know why there was an issue but it sorted out.
Thank you!

@StaneB Thanks for the feedback.
I believe the firmware downgrade from 1.3.2 to 1.2.9 needs firmware recovery.
How to use firmware recovery on Deco
But it is suggested to refer to the following suggestions to see whether it helped with the wireless connection:
1. Please refer to this link to change the WAN DNS server to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4.
2. Enable UPNP under Deco APP>More>Advanced>NAT Forwarding
2. Please turn off "Fast roaming" and "Beamforming" under the Deco APP>More>Advanced.
Wait for your reply and best regards.

Hello
Thank you for the feedback. I did what you suggested but the result is the same. So next step would be a firmware downgrade?

You can get it by using the UPDATE DECO function in the Deco app. I have Deco XE75 version 1.0.

@David-TP Found this thread because my IoT devices all of a sudden lost their mind. Connections dropping constantly over the last week, etc. Realized my XE75's had recently taken 1.3.2 so was looking for a way to downgrade. Decided to try these steps. 1&2 were already set that way by default, but Beamforming was on. Turned it off and everything stabilized right up. No problems since.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks David-TP for the advice!
