Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.5

Hi, Tplink!

Hi it's me again, I once installed beta firmware 1.7.0 to my m4r v2 and it didn't work. It said that the firmware was incorrect, I tried installing it both from webUI and firmware recovery mode. Both failed. But I see from this forum there are some who have the same hardware as me M4R V2, they managed to install beta firmware 1.7.0 why can't mine?

 

Note i have 4 deco, E4 v1 3 pcs, M4 v2 (1.6.5 firmware) 1 pcs. Since the E4 had the new 1.7.0 update and can do connection preference, thats why i want my m4 can do the same..

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

You may follow method2 in the guide to try again.

And did you get beta firmware from the thread? Did you set M4 as main Deco or satellite?

Please share the screenshots of the error message if the same problem remains.

Best regards.

  @ryg First you have to extract the ZIP file and then install the (.bin) file
