Great, I'm keen on buying this over the next few weeks. Did you buy the EU build or the US one?

  @7hil 

Im from Oz and I downloaded 1.2.0 and then 1.2.1 mentioned in this thread, and installed and it's working well.

  @7hil I am not sure to be honest. I think they are the US ones... but in all honesty they are whichever ones PC Case Gear stock 

  @flynia 

Sorry, I think that weird question was a typo on my part. I think what I meant was did you download a US build of the firmware or an EU one?

  @7hil 

My BE85 sold in Australia currently are US and version 2 I believe. I used the FW1.2.1 which is an "EU" variant. Advice is given in this thread that the firmware 1.2.0 EU is for V1 or V2 and includes Australia... I presumed 1.2.1 also was, and so far so good.

It's been 3 months now since the release of this firmware and follow ups for the BE85. When is the flagship BE95 going to get upgraded? It's been a year since the last firmware update for the most expensive router in the Deco line. Thats a year of security vulnerabilities and missing functionality thats been repeatedly been promised. At this point I am seriously considering rebuilding my network and ripping out all tplink gear because this is ridiculous

  @David-TP Hi David, if I install the firmware from the page you shared for the V1, will it also work for the V2? The thing is that when I switch to the V2 version, the latest firmware update available is from last year.

Hi, you can downgrade from 1.2.1 back to 1.2.0 directly via the web Interface.
As the 1.2.1 version has just been released, if you would like to spend a little more time, I'd like to forward your case to the senior engineer for further assistance.

 

By the way, could you also help me check the following details:
For the network topology here:"BE85 Living room (Main) > 2.5Gbps wired backhaul to Office (BE65) > 2.5Gbps wired backhaul to Bedroom (BE85)"

• Are they directly connected via Ethernet cables? Would there be any network switch?
• Would both satellite Deco BE65 units randomly turn flashing red spontaneously? How about the main Deco BE85? Is it always solid green?

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Any update on the combined ethernet and wireless backhaul feature to be reinstated?
Thank you.
