@David-TP could you not rease a patch with 5g only as an option on network selection, my tp-link archer nx200 has this and has never lost 5g connection since i have had it.

 With regards to cpu usage mine is pretty much constantly at 100% and crashes, have tried with just my phone connected aswell, no pther devices connected.

again never had this problem with 1.15 and 1.17

the archer very rarely goes above 20% usage

how can 2 tp link products be so far apart for reliabi

  @ShadowLabs @David-TP this fella was offerd downgrade to 1.17 so why cant it be done???

  @David-TP 

I have the latest firmware beta from 1230. The speed was not good at 1217 at all. I think the new ui in the firmware are compromising the cpu and memory. You should take back everything. I want to downgrade to 1.1.5 please

Here's what I have noticed about the speed issues.

The very slow speed, 2Mbps, is when the B28 band is used. The SNR is between 0.2 and 2.0dB.

It then seems to get stuck on B28.

Reboot then reverts to B3, B20, B1, SNR is above 12dB and speeds are 90Mbps.

The X50-5g is in the same position and signal strength is always 60%.

hi

did you try the firmware recovery trick : https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/2958/ ? 

I applied it (http version) on the DECO X50-5G V1, to downgrade from firmware beta x50-5g-SP1-whole-up-beta-ver1-2-0-P1[20241230-rel33540]_2024-12-31_10.03.32.bin   down to    Deco X50-5G(EU)_V1_1.1.7 Build 20240809.

It worked pretty well, I'm now back on 1.1.7, as it was shipped with.

I will return it to the vendor, It is not reliable :

• Why does TP-link still ship HW V1.0 although the V1.2 and V2.0 are available ?
• I also bought and tried the DECO BE65-5G, much more expensive but seems more reliable, the VPN feature is available in the official version and works quite well. still missing the static route though.

  @Rushtonwolves while I was offered the downgrade, it never worked for me since 1.2.1 beta so I'm stuck on this firmware as well.

@David-TP still seeing issues with this latest 1.2.0 build, the CPU still hangs at 100% for extended periods of time, and when this happens the DHCP stops working. Woke up this morning to 29 of my 35 devices being disconnected and unable to connect until a reboot of the X50-5G.

  @David-TP

This one is being returned. Devices offline, red LED, speed down at 2Mbps.

The MR200 is giving 90Mbps at 50% signal. Slow but reliable.

  @David-TP 

Unfortunately, the downgrade does not work, whether using version 1.1.5 or 1.1.7. Even with the original version 1.0, it still doesn’t work. 😕

Can you help us?

  @David-TP could u not help Us users out, we have paid for a premium product and the best place for it is the bin.....

either re-release 1.17 or 1.15 as a 1.21beta (as i know this is possible) or arange for amazon to take a return on the item. As my return date has passed, i havent got the box and the device aint even a year old. I will then purchase the more reliable archer nx
