Deco app update - Apple products not connecting
Deco S4, three nodes, one of which is wired via Ethernet to my netgear modem (comcast xfinit6 is my ISP).
earlier this week I updated the deco app, and since then my apple devices (2 x phones, 1 x iPad) is going really slowly. Social media apps won't load, streaming live video from ring camera drops in and out, and I can't load basic websites via safari. Prior to the update, everything was working fine.
I've tried everything - rebooting the Deco system, unplugging from the wall, switching the modem on/off, turning my Apple devices on and off, unplugging from the base, etc.). Called TP-Link who were not particularly helpful, and now I'm one step away from replacing it with a new mesh system from Eero or something similar, if anyone has an6 ideas I'd be very grateful!

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.
Have you tried to set Deco S4 to Access Point mode to see whether it helped:
How to set up Deco to work in Access Point mode
And if possible, we could also try to downgrade from 1.5.0 to 1.4.X via firmware recovery:
- We could start with the first main Deco S4 and please refer to this link to get Deco S4 into firmware recovery mode:
How to use firmware recovery on Deco- HTTP Uboot Method
- Upload the 1.4.1 firmware here:

Wait for your reply and best regards.

@David-TP how can I downgrade back to 1.4? I am having the same issue and none of the fixes I am finding on here are working. Thank you!

Hi, Can I have more details about the reported issue?
What are the model numbers of your mobile/Apple devices?
If IPV6 has been enabled under Deco APP>More>Internet Connection, could you please disable IPV6 to see whether it helped?
As for the firmware downgrade, it needs to be implemented via firmware recovery:
- We could start with the first main Deco S4 and please refer to this link to get Deco S4 into firmware recovery mode:

@David-TP thanks for the reply, but the ship has sailed.
No one replied to me on here, and the TD Link customer service rep I was speaking with forgot to process my replacement product order despite promising it would be done and now isn't returning calls/emails. So, I decided to cut my loses and replaced my Deco system with Eero 6+. It's been faster, no bugs, no glitches, and their customer service team have been responsive and helpful to the few questions I had.

Do you still wish to proceed the waranty service with us? I left a note for the related technical support and you could update the email #TKID240554458 with the purchase receipt and a picture of bottom label with #SN.
