The all official firmwares are sh*t (don't work), to be honest. They are not stable at all, have a weak wifi signal, don't work MLO, have problems with random network disconnection, and more.

The new beta 1.0.11 works a lot better but is still not perfect. But at least they bring back the wifi signal to a normal level, and I'm glad. Before I had 65% coverage, now it's 80% like on the AX55. 

I keep talking with support via email and give them feedback from my testing. So they try to reproduce issues and fix them.

It's a little annoying because we paid $300 each for BE550 and I have 2x of them. And we customers have to help them meet marketing and hardware specifications, which should have come out with the product 8 months ago. I don't know who could allow such bugged firmwares to be official. They need to find a better I inside testers or employ US. LOL

  @ChrisBS  I have 2 be550 in easymesh configuration. When I change the channel, the satellite follow through. When I set the width to 80hz the satellite still remain 160hz. Yes, wifi signal not good. I'm currently using public release  1.0.10 version that the app installed.

So for what are you waiting for?  Go and update for beata 1.0.11. At least its better than all official releases.  Will be nice to have another person testing it and confirming my problems about what I mentioned before with this beta release.

More feedback is better! 

I have now installed the beta 1.1.6 firmware (BE800) and since then the 5G network has not failed anymore 

I have installed the beta 1.1.6 firmware (BE800). Here are my experiences with this router and firmware:

1. My cell phones can't get Dynamic IPs and won't connect. Switch to Static IPs and connects right away. Using two Galaxy S23 Ultra and Note 9. Same situation with both 2.4/5G and 6G wireless networks.

2. Numerous disconnects and reconnect with WiFi on all cell phones. 

3. Router is connected to modem (in bridge mode) with 2.5G speed on port 1. Port 3 is connect to 10G network switch. Nothing else is connected to the network ports on the router. Everytime I boot up any computers on my network, all internet activity "freezes" and all my network drives to NAS take at least 20-30 sec to "connect". Seems like the router is in sleep mode and needs time to wake up. Computers are getting DHCP from the router. Also, never had this problem with ISP modem/router box.

EasyMesh, MLO Network, Flow control, Guest Network, IoT Network, and most other options are NOT Enabled. I just need a simple fast router. 

Any news on a beta update?

i am very dissapointed with this BE800 V1 that i am using now.. the wireless keeps dropping and my Oppo handphones keep on trying to search for a channel to connect to.

my previous TP-Link Archer AX11000 had such a strong wireless signal that wherever i was in my home, i could always connect with a strong signal.

my home is 145square meters in size, and i never had to use any "Mesh system"

i am using the beta firmware that this page has uploaded V1_V1.1.6.. very bad. wish there were removable antenna's instead of the inbuilt antenna's.

Official firmware version 1.0.11 for BE550/BE9300(US) has been released.
