Before the Upgrade
(1) Please be sure you have read the Beta Test Agreement before upgrading the pre-release firmware!
(2) For the sake of insurance, it's always recommended to save a copy of the router Backup Config file before upgrading or downgrading.
(3) You may follow the guide to upgrade the firmware of your router. How to Upgrade the Firmware on the TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers.
(4) This pre-release firmware for Archer BE800 V1 can be applied to all versions (EU/US/JP/TW/etc.).
(5) This version of software can be degraded to the previous version.
(6) To use the new 3-band MLO connection, both the router and client device must support Wi-Fi 7 and 3-band MLO. Please note that most Wi-Fi 7 smartphones and network adapters may only support 2.4GHz + 5GHz or 2.4GHz + 6GHz when connecting to the MLO Network.

Does this mean there will be no internet at all?
-> it connects after a while at 1g
Are you saying when the Intel 10G SFP module is connected to the 10 Gbps SFP+ port, and a client device is connected to port 3, there won't be connectivity on the SFP+ port?
Yes it shows 0mbps on the BE800 in AP mode and link light is off on the client. In system log
It shows 2.5 port 1-5 off, combo port off.
I rolled back to 1.1.6 and it started working again.

I rolled back to 1.1.6 and it started working again.My config, BE800 main connected to BE800 in AP Mode with 10g Ethernet connected to a omada switch via sfp+
Just confirm again, the topo is like the below:
Main BE800 (Router Mode) --- Omada Switch via SFP+ --- BE800 (AP Mode)
What device were you connected to port 3 on the 2nd BE800 when the issue happened? Have you confirmed if changing with another client device would make a difference?
I will report this issue to the engineering team for further analysis. If you have more details, please add up. Thank you very much.

The topology is
BE800 main --- Ethernet --- BE800 AP mode --- omada via sfp.
I have not tried other devices, I will reinstall the beta and try with other devices and post the system log a bit later
