Tags: #Firmware Update #Wi-Fi 7 #Network Connectivity
Model: Archer BE230  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.5 Build 20260108 rel.68570(4555)

I have noticed that after updating to the latest firmware, 2.4 GHz randomly drops. Now it was dropped after 1 week since last router restart. 5 GHz wifi works fine. 

 

I tried manually changing the 2.4 GHz to less congested channel without luck. Renabling wifi does not help. Full router reboot works.

 

Router WAN is directly connected to the wall and 2.4 GHz wireless devices  are mostly IoT devices. Ethernet throughout on desktop PC is as expected.

I have now downgraded to 1.2.1 Build 20250804 rel.79639(4555) and I will let it run for a week.

 

An additional debug test I tried before downgrading was disabling Smart Connect, then disabling 5 GHz completely, leaving only 2.4 GHz WIFI active. 2.4 GHz network was visible in the spectrum. It showed up in my phone as well but the connection attempt immediately failed.

  Hi @Joseph-TP 

 

I have sent my current backup file via email. 2.4 GHz has been working correctly with the old firmware so far, but it took 1 week for it to stop working last time. Therefore, I cannot yet confirm that the old firmware will fix the issue.

Downgrading seems to have helped. 2.4 GHz WiFi is still working after a full week.
