@Kevin_Z Good morning, is there any way to get a new pre-release of the ge800 firmware?

After getting my original ge800 replaced due to constant internet drop outs a few months ago, I've left the new one on the original firmware fearing a repeat.
Is the new 1.3.2 worth upgrading to, or is everyone still experiencing issues and waiting for the next release?

@Kevin_Z I'm waiting a new GE800 release too. I've a v1 version.
The last one is unstable. I'm a remote worker, I'm making a fool of myself because it reboots during a call.
I've tried to reset and reconfigure from scratch the router, nothing changed...I've also tried to disable EasyMesh (I've read here this workaround), nothing changed.
In the log nothing is reported.
Please help us.

Hi, are we getting beta firmware? It's been four months. Is there anything new? I'm having problems with my SFP because I'm missing SFP+ Flow Control. It has an SFP+ port, but it doesn't support SFP+ Flow Control. I'd like beta firmware. My internet speed is 8GB down and up. I get 8GB download speed, but the upload speed stays between 1GB and 2GB. After so much research, it appears I'm missing SFP+ Flow Control. Without it, I'll never get the speed I need. I hope TP-Link takes this seriously and releases a beta version
