Please verify the hardware version of your device. Wrong firmware upgrading
may damage your device and void the warranty. How to check over the hardware
version of a TP-LINK device? (Page 3 for details) It’s recommended that users

units of the same model and hardware version in the network, they will also be
upgraded together.

Upgrading Steps
Step 1 Connect your device to the Deco network (wired or wirelessly).
Step 2 Launch a web browser, enter http://tplinkdeco.net or the LAN IP
address shown on the Deco app in the address bar to access the web management
page of the Deco.

Advanced > LAN IP.
Step 3 Enter the password of your Owner TP-Link ID and then click LOG IN.

Deco network through the Deco app.

software and hardware version will be shown as the above picture (As an
example, in the picture, the hardware version of X60 is ‘1.0’).

a character string “Ver: X.Y” (for example, Ver:1.0) and the number X is the
