  @Riley_S My app is up-to-date. The decos are working and if i wire through Ethernet they work. They appear offline in deco app and web ui.

 

I have tried to enter recovery mode but it goes from green light to solid red light (which means there was an issue).

 

I have logged out and logged in and still no luck. This is a firmware issue.

Updating my M5's now.........went smooth without any issue.

 

I have quite a few customers with P9 setups.  Please do not forget about this model (has not received an update/new features in a long time)!

  @Riley_S It looks like we aren't getting feature parity for the XE5300 sold at Costco. Does it use hardware that is so far behind the rest of the Deco line that it can't support the new firmware features or are they coming soon to the XE5300? The new No-IP is very important to me. The last feature I'm really missing is router-based VPN allowing me to securely connect to my home network when remote. These two items would make me a very happy customer.

  @jdhuskey,

While we do not know what features/firmware will come to what decos, the firmware download page does list that there was new firmware provided in either December, indicating that the model is still being actively developed. The decos listed above are not the only systems to receive the firmware, they are just the most recent releases being tested. Lastly, the XE5300 should also already have some of the features mentioned above, such as signal source selection; as it is listed as an applicable model in the FAQ for the topic; so make sure you are keeping an eye out for news/updates to your system.

  @Probi,

As an FYI, the X50 was not released in the US, so you may be actually looking for our global forum: https://community.tp-link.com/en

 

When It comes to the beta firmware provided on the forums and support channels, it is recommended that you do not use the firmware unless your model specifically matches the model version listed. At release, much of our firmware is cross-compatible with similar version numbers, but this cannot be guaranteed when it comes to the firmware released here.

 

It is best to wait for an updated version through the official update branch.

 

If you feel like doing a little problem-solving, here is the general rule of thumb for matching hardware versions:

 

(Normally Vx.0=Vx.6/Vx.8 (eg:V1.0=V1.6/V1.8);   Vx.x0=Vx.x6/Vx.x8 (eg:V1.20=V1.26/V1.28)

  @edumorlom I am seeing the exact same issues on my XE200 devices, where the main EX200 is fine, but the satellite is green but not allowing any wireless connections. Have you found a fix for this, or did you need to revert to the previous firmware version?

  @JohnnyUtah79 Hi, yes. Support sent me a new Beta firmware that fixes the issue.

 

You can reach out to them or if you'd like I can send it to u.

 

Best,

 

Eduardo
