All the firmware updates are within the Deco app. That’s all I use.

Have you asked in the Vodafone/One forum?

It wouldn't matter as One doesn't control when the X20 gets an update. All done via the deck app. Also the X20 is EOL, super seeded by the X50 which has 160mhz channel width and has a bit more grunt.

Hey, dont get your hopes on a firmware because its a custom one but the x20 is rock solid, we use the parental controls and it blocks and unblocks instantly. the x50 did get a update but everything is subscription based for the extra security etc and the parental controls dont block and unblock as good as the x20

I thought the one Vodafone gave out has a customized firmware? well that would be another question if so, what exactly did they adjust for the Vodafone release?

I've also heard a rumour that the ones Vodafone/One gave out have higher power output? Which i think is highly doubtful

There's some commercial stuff that means that I cannot say why TP-Link gave out VDF labeled X20s, however in reality there's no software difference and updates are still managed by TP-Link which is the important tidbit.

For OP > Check the Deco app. The version should match that's on the TP-Link website. If not there is someone I think I can still lean on but keep in note I am not employed at One NZ anymore.

Current deco app via android is

Version 3.7.55

and Deco firmware is

2.04 Build 20220216 REL 41671

But people may not know is there have been multiple hardware versions of the same unit. Hence newer firmware might not be compatible with older units.

I believe that's the latest and the support and the process by frontline is that it's all updated and self managed by the Deco app.

Anything else is not supported.

OP needs to confirm what they're running via the deco app.

Received notification overnight in the Deco app that a new firmware update is available for my X20's

Installed.

New FW version showing is 2.0.6 Build 20240115 Rel. 55945

If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.

It's under System in the Deco App. I just updated mine and once you click the update it advises that it doesn’t update in the app but via the x20 units.

Ive done a reboot of both deco x20 units then checked again in the app. Still nothing, are you sure that you are not using a different hardware revision? Has anyone else managed to update? I've also logged into the Deco via the webbrowser interface and checked there, but still no updates available.

Can anyone else confirm that they are using a Deco X20 supplied via vodafone/one that are being offered firmware 2.0.6 Build 20240115 Rel. 55945 when checked via the app?
