Model: Deco X55  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.0

I have the Deco X55 Ver 1.26, recently updated to firmware 1.4.0  I have been having periodic drops in service, most noticable during video calls, where the call drops out but picks back up automatically after a few seconds. 

 

My ISP says they can see that the router frequently releasing the IP address and requesting a new one. 

 

I was not having this problem prior to the firmware update and I'm wondering if anyone else is having similar problems or has a solution.  My ISP does not offer a fixed IP for residential customers, so I have to leave the router in auto for the WAN IP or risk other issues.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Can I roll back the firmware on my 3 Deco X55 units?  I've also had significant problems with all my Google Home hardware and dropping out since the firmware update.

  @Brian2700  I'm having the same issue but on their download page it says you can't rollback.  This behavior is completely unacceptable as I and my wife work from home.  If they can't get us a solution soon I may be forced to buy a new router(wasted money).  This is ridiculous from a support perspective.

  @A-Deco-user I have installed this beta firmaware and been running it for a few days now and it seems to have fixed the issue with contantly releasing WAN/dropping internet for 20 secs or so. I installed on 2 of the 3 devices and have been streaming TV and other items with no issues.

 

Downside about 2-3 weeks too late as i had to purhcase a new router as this was affecting my ability to work as me and wife both work from home.

Just an update for anyone searching for a solution to the WAN connection drops I've described above with firmwarever 1.4.0, the beta firmware available on the forum for the Deco X55 resolved the issue.
