Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Is there any way possible to get a current list of new features that are still being planned or worked on for the Deco M9 Plus? I purchased my M9 Plus based on information from the TP-Link website as well as information shared by TP-Link employees in the forums and in resposes from TP-Link support regarding feature enhancements. Yet two years after purchasing my Deco M9 Plus, I and many Deco M9 Plus customers, are still waiting. 

 

For example,

  • Connect external hard drives to the USB outlet for network storage (was noted as a "future enhancement" in the manual and website but appears the USB port will be nothing more than an expensive phone charger)
  • Install VPN to allow whole network coverage 
  • Manually select which Deco M9 a satellite Deco M9 connects to (no matter what I do, the Deco in my basement will only connect to the main Deco on the 2nd floor and not connect to any other Deco M9, no matter how close they are during set-up, resulting in slower speeds for devices in the basement. 

 

I have a feeling that the focus has changed from "new features" to resolving bugs and issues. If that's the case, that info would be extremely helpful to know. However, if features commented about over hte past couple of years are still in the works, that would alsio be helpful so i can decide whether or not I want to jump ship and find another mesh system with the basic features I need "out of the box".

 

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Hi,

I did not have the detailed road map and there is some information for your reference.

1. The following features mentioned here on the beta firmware 1.6.0 of M5 would be added on the M9 plus as well.

[New Firmware] Deco M5 1.6.0

2. There is no plan for USB network storage.

3. For the VPN, I suppose you talk about the VPN server on the M9 plus, it is under evaluation and has no clear plan yet.
