..........How about releasing the firmware to those who have the issue for testing and if all is well you can release it to everyone else.

 

I am happy to be a guinea pig if it means I can finally have the signal I was promised!  Field testing, you know it makes sense.

@TP-Link 

 

We need this update asap please. I really like the product but this is a terrible flaw that needs (and can) be fixed. Please, please, please, let us select the signal source or make the decos connect no the nearest slave.

Installed the beta firmware and ran the network optimization = Third deco still connecting to master

 

Rebooted all decos, ran again the optimization tool several times = same result.

 

It seems that "our team is working on it, soon we will be able to select the signal source" and "the official 1.6.0 firmware will be released very soon" are just lies that TP-Link has been telling us since 2019.

 

Probably they will finally fix this critical flaw by 2025. 

 

What a terrible product support. Two years and they can't address this. Unbelievable.

@TP-Link Can you please provide a date for the new 1.6.0 firmware release? We are struggling to work with the current version and this is pending from a very long time.

I feel you should be communicating a date as this is not something new, else, I really doubt your readiness to solve this issue.

"

Hi, Thank you very much for all the sharing.

The good news is that the new firmware 1.6.0 for Deco M5 would allow us to manually choose the signal source and it would be released very soon;"

 

What is your definition of very soon? You posted that on 2021-04-27. Today is 2021-07-06. This is stupid.

This is really odd, last week I updated the firmware and had the option to manually change the network layout, but I had a power cut yesterday and the Deco's reset to all using the main hub as source signal. So I looked for the option to change the source signal again but it's gone... Whats going on here?

I'm almost positive it was selectable from clicking on the Signal Source for the individual deco, but now I'm beginning to question myself!
