SG version, 1.2 hardware.. Yr guy told me is for eu and us model only.. U have the sg version firmware?
@Toperr The previous official firmware appears to be universal for US/EU/SG/AU hardware. I'll check with the development team to confirm whether this provided pre-release version is not.
@PandaJas Can I know the hardware version of your BE805? Is it a US version or SG version? Is hardware version V1 or v1.20? Thank you.

My BE805 is US version 1.0
Any eta for easymesh to support MLO? It is very annoying knowing current easymesh doesn't support it since it is introduced.

The development team confirmed that there was a firmware limitation on the previously provided 1.2.4 version, and they have updated it.
I've updated the download link for the latest 1.2.4 Build 20250724 on my original post. Please download it again and update it on your BE805.
Please let me know how the new firmware works. Thank you.

@Kevin_Z i use HB710 as main , BE805 as mesh satellite. It seems that 6G can't be ethernet backhauled from BE805, it gives me standalone 6G SSID(from BE850). Is this normal?
My setup is :
ONT - HB710(via WAN) - BE805 (satellite, via ethernet backhaul from HB710) - 3x HB710 Satellites

Just checked with the team and confirmed that the EasyMesh R6 official standard protocol primarily features advanced Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, including MLO backhaul and support for the 6 GHz band. However, our devices currently do not fully support the R6 standard and are utilizing a proprietary mesh protocol for 6 GHz synchronization. Since the HB710 and the BE805 use different private protocols, extending the 6 GHz band between them is not currently achievable.
Reset assured, this will be optimized and made available in future updates.
