New Firmware [New Firmware] Deco M5 1.6.0
Hello everyone,
Please be sure you have read The Beta Test Agreement before proceeding!
We are happy here to announce that we now have the 1.6.0 firmware for Deco M5 V1/V2/V3 for trial. Please refer to the following link to access this firmware.
Deco M5 1.6.0
New Features/Enhancement:
1. Added Reboot Schedule for every day/week under Deco App > More > Reboot Schedule.
Note: This feature is ONLY supported when the Deco with the firmware 1.6.0 installed is set as the Main Deco.
2. Added support for customizing Satellite Deco signal source under Deco App > Internet > Select the Satellite Deco > Signal Source.
Note: This feature is ONLY supported on Deco with firmware 1.6.0 installed.
3. Added support for customizing clients connection preference under Deco App > CLIENTS > Select the client > Click the gear icon on the right-up corner > Connection Preference.
Note: This feature is ONLY supported in Mesh networks consisting of ALL Deco's with firmware 1.6.0 installed. And the clients are connected to the HOST NETWORK.
4. Added No-IP and DynDNS to the DDNS settings under Deco App > More > Advanced > DDNS.
Note: This feature is ONLY supported when the Deco with 1.6.0 installed is set as the Main Deco.
No-IP and DynDNS are the two commonly used dynamic DNS providers and after installing firmware 1.6.0, you can choose to set up a No-IP or DynDNS domain name for your Deco in addition to TP-Link DDNS.
5. Added Smart DHCP on/off switch under Access Point mode.
Note: This feature is ONLY supported when the Deco with the firmware 1.6.0 installed is set as the Main Deco.
Smart DHCP is enabled by default. When the Smart DHCP function is enabled, Deco will periodically check whether the DHCP Server in the LAN is working properly, and when it stops working, Deco will take the initiative to assign IP addresses to the devices in the LAN.
6. Added a prompt when the Ethernet link rate goes down to 100Mbps.
Note: Deco M5 supports a maximum link speed of 1000Mbps, but due to the quality of the Ethernet cable, the link speed of the connected device, the flow control, and power-saving settings, etc., the link speed can sometimes drop to 100Mbps or even 10Mbps. This can affect your download and upload speed if your bandwidth is more than 100Mbps. After installing firmware 1.6.0, you will receive a prompt in Deco App when the Ethernet link speed is not 1000Mbps.
7. Added schedule and bandwidth limit to guest network under Deco App > More > Wi-Fi > Guest Network.
Note: This feature is ONLY supported when the Deco with the firmware 1.6.0 installed is set as the Main Deco.
8. When configuring Deco for the first time, you can choose to establish an IPv6 connection directly.
9. Improved system reliability.
Notes:
1. This firmware CAN'T be downgraded to the previous version.
2. The current network configuration would not be lost after installing the beta firmware.
3. Please update your Deco APP to the latest version for the new features.
4. If there are other Deco models in the Mesh network, you may miss some new features but this feature will be supported via firmware update in the future.
5. You may miss some new features when Deco is set to Access Point mode.

@TP-Link I have tried to reboot both the Decos and the treadmill. That doesnt help. Yes the problem started after updating to 1.6. My treadmill is a Nordic Track T12.2 with an iFit WiFi module.

This feature doesn't apply to guest network clients?

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
All the wired devices connected to the switch did not show up on the devices list, right?
If you connect one of the wired clients to the main Deco directly, would it show up on the APP?
As for the guest network issue, you are right and the connection preference is only available on the main network.

Yes. My NAS disappeared in devices list after upgrading to 1.6.0

I didn't try this before, but while using older firmwares, it always displays in devices list

Hi, I would like to follow up on your case by email, and please have a check of your email box later.
And Did you set up a static IP address on the NAS?
If yes, would you mind temporarily changing it back to dynamic IP and check whether it appeared on the list or not?
Thank you very much.
