This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Dear TP Link
There have been numerous issues and request that have been requested at the community for which no clarity has been given, I am listing a few of those issue I would request you to give clear answers wether these requests and issues have been accepted by the product development team in Yes or No and if yes then give us broad time range in which we can expect the accepted requests. I request the community members to add, if I forget something
1. Manual Channel Selection For 2.4 and 5Ghz Network:- I understand you are working on a network optimizations feature for this, but will this network optimizations work only for 2.4 Ghz or will it work for 5 Ghz as well. And can we ever expect manual selection to be available in Deco
2. Will any of the Decos that did not launch with WPA3 like Deco M9, M5 will be updated to WPA 3 ? If yes please provide which models will be updated
3. Option to Disable SMART DHCP in AP Mode.
4. Option to Select Source Signal for Decos
5. Individual Device Bandwidth Management, so that we can limit bandwidth for specific devices.
6. USB Port Function Enablement for Deco M9
7. FragAttack Vulnerbililty Fix For Deco M5 & Deco M9 (updated on 21/05/2021)
8. Estimated Release Date of Firmware 1.6.0 For Deco M5 and Deco M9 ? Please quantitfy it like (Q2 2021 or Q3 2021) saying soon is not enough for us. (updated on 21/05/21)
I request you to please forward this to product development team and give us to the point answers to which features we can expect in near future and what is there broad time frame.
I hope I recieve a proper reply.
Regards

Hello @jthcomputers, thanks for summarizing the features need to be improved or added on the Deco devices.
1. Manual Channel Selection For 2.4 and 5Ghz Network:- I understand you are working on a network optimizations feature for this, but will this network optimizations work only for 2.4 Ghz or will it work for 5 Ghz as well. And can we ever expect manual selection to be available in Deco
TP-Link: There is no plan to allow manually selecting the wireless channel on 2.4ghz and 5ghz yet.
2. Will any of the Decos that did not launch with WPA3 like Deco M9, M5 will be updated to WPA 3 ? If yes please provide which models will be updated
TP-Link: As for the WPA3 compatibility, we cannot give you a list which model will support it as plan may change anytime, you need to keep an eye on the official website for the updates: https://www.tp-link.com/wpa3/compatibility/
3. Option to Disable SMART DHCP in AP Mode.
TP-Link: A DHCP on/off switch(only under access point mode) will be added on 1.6.0 version as per the Deco firmware release timeline, but we don't have an ETA either, so we hope you could wait and keep an eye on your Deco app.
4. Option to Select Source Signal for Decos
TP-Link: Will be added on the firmware 1.6.0 as well;
5. Individual Device Bandwidth Management, so that we can limit bandwidth for specific devices.
TP-Link: Accepted but no EAT yet.
6. USB Port Function Enablement for Deco M9
TP-Link: No plan yet.

@TP-Link_Deco Please reply, I think we deserve basic clarity when we have invested in a product from TP-Link, so that we can decide that should we wait or move on to different products which may fulfill our requirements better.

@TP-Link_Deco Thanks for the reply, it will be really great if you can update the ETA for these features in the near future. As for beta version of 1.5.0, if the same is available for M9 also, then I will definitely like to try it.

Hi, not yet, we currently only have the beta for Deco M5, it is suggested to wait patiently for the other models, thank you.

Please update ETA for 1.5 firmware as you have been testing the beta since sept 20, so I think now you should be able to give us an approximate ETA.

Hello, we have released the 1.5.1 version for the Deco M5 already, did you fail to detect it via the Deco app?
While if your Deco is not M5, you may need to wait for the new firmware for another weeks, please be aware that Deco firmware release will be on a rolling basis, sorry about that.

"we will add the network optimization feature on the Deco devices"
Now that 1.5.1 version of firmware is out for M5, can you provide more detail about that network optimization feature?
Thanks
