@David-TP Both devices have been previously added and accounted for. I only have two - P110M and P304M.

The phantom device being added to my network is worrying because something is definitely not right. I am always monitoring my network and that's unusual.

  @David-TP 

I am thinking of trying it out even if it is early access. Is it safe? Will I have any problems with my X50-5g warranty?

  @robertscott56 It's not in early access. It has been rolled out on stable release. It's on TP-Link's global website -> Deco X50-5G -> support page -> firmware

  @David-TP Hey I actually requested clarification from the engineer about my issues that I raised. Somehow the two issues I raised got mixed up now.

There are two distinct issues now I am facing:

1. Deco X50-5G repeatedly goes down throughout the day (with error messages in log saying temperature hitting high levels) which I raised some time back. Now the version 1.20 update brought the CPU and memory usage percentage, which now confirmed my suspicious that CPU usage kept going to 100% most of the time and memory usage over 80% most of the time too.

2. Second issue is about Tapo matter smart devices (T110M and T304M) which cannot stay connected if they are added to Apple Home via mattter.

These are two separate issues but please refer to the mail reply here which the engineer has mixed up two different issues into one. The first issue happened months before I bought the Tapo smart devices, so they are unrelated. And I don't seem to be the only one experiencing very high CPU and memory usage. There are other people here who are seeing it too.

Please help pass on the message.

I have installed the beta/early access firmware provided in this thread.

Is this beta firmware file exactly the same as the one uploaded now on the official TpLink Page?  https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/deco-x50-5g/v1/#Firmware

Or should we install now the official firmware from the TP Link page?

  @David-TP 

Hello,

Is it known when the firmware for Europe / Germany will be released?

  @David-TP This firmware update just prompted me to install it via the Deco app, and after the update completely crippled my network. The CPU was stuck at 100% and reboots did not fix the issue. I found that the QoS setting had become enabled, though no devices or scenarios were selected. Before the update, QoS was not active on this network. As soon as I disabled the QoS feature the network became usable again and my devices were able to connect to the internet. It seems the update changed this setting. Not a good experience.
