??????? 🤔 

@TP-Link_Deco 

Are there any news yet?

@SrDarkWarrior 

Forget it.... I have already migrated to Netgear Orbi Rbk53 setup. Its just AMAZING.... 

@TP-Link_Deco 

You see the posts but don't reply... 

Rude... 

If you don't plan to bring this in, tell us on the face... No need to play games here. 

@TP-Link_Deco 

Stop wasting time on stupid developments and devote sincere efforts in making channel change and optimization...... 

What the f... Is wifi detective and who asked for it???

The 5GHz channel appears to be configured based on the region the device was manufactured for use in and they are apparently not auto-selected and are definitely not manually configurable.

So the M9 doesn't even attempt to choose the best 5Ghz channel? Your so-called 'seamless, unfettered, and performant experience for wireless networking' only serves to congest channel 36 and make the experience worse for everyone.

Perhaps this should be clarified on the product page no?

which means when developing a mesh system, our developers have already taken all factors into serious consideration and choose the current one, the current Deco mesh system may not be perfect or even good, but we don't think it's just that awful or nonusable as some of you thought. If we need or we must do this change to allow you to change the channel, it will require a lot of research in the market and it is not that easy just like you said "just open the option", I think most users like you guys should understand it

Your so-called engineers and developers took all factors into serious consideration and thought that using sub-par weak wifi security was the best option? Would the wireless security issue even have been addressed if Apple did not take the step to highlight security concerns in their latest OS?

The security issue already disproves your claim that tp-link engineers know what is "best" for their customers.

Given that 1) people have requested the channel selection feature for years, and 2) your engineers seem rather incompetent, I take it that tp-link is probably not intending to make provisions for channel selection in the near future. Anyway, this is the last tp-link product I'll be getting, and I'll be sure to advise people to stay away from tp-link.

@TP-Link_Deco

Btw, my download speeds on 5Ghz on the M9 is <200Mbps beside the router. My other netgear router which is 6 years old gives me download speeds of 400-500Mbps, close to the maximum of my internet connection, because I can choose an uncongested wifi channel.

Could you clarify if having worse performance than an old router is what you meant by "performant experience for wireless networking"?

@nomoretp 

This is nothing but a half baked product... And the worst part is that they don't know how to cook it further...

Tp-Link has fooled us like most other Chinese vendors... 

Their engineers are incompetent to develop even basic functionalities. 

Let's move on to Orbi /Velop that are far more advanced than these glorified paper weights.... 

This is getting incredibly unprofessinal @tplink @TP-Link @TP-Link_Deco

@GetCart3r 

Their engineers have turned doctors and are more busy finding a cure right now.... 

Hence the delay.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
