Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Ive noticed several problems with the v1.0.9 firmware on the BE400 / 6500. Are there any beta or prerelease firmwares available and should I be looking for firmware for the BE400 or the BE6500? Everything from the labels to the GUI display both model numbers

hi  @maurok_og ,

Welcome to our community!

 

If you want to confirm the model, you can refer to

How to find the hardware version on a TP-Link device

 

It's generally recommended to use the firmware from your local official website. Alternatively, you can check for new firmware on the Firmware Update page. If there is no new firmware, it's recommended to wait for a subsequent firmware update.

 

For your case, can you provide more details? For example, the wireless connection is unstable, or the internet speed is slow.

That's the trick though. Depending on where you look, the model number changes. On the bottom of the router, it literally says Model: Archer BE400 and then the line below it reads BE6500 Dual Band Wi-Fi 7 Router. The Model number shown within the serial number and barcode box states it is a BE400 as do several of the pages within the web server but there are also a smattering of BE6500 mentions. It is designated as being a v1.6 model though. 
 

as far as issues go, the major ones that I'm having is that the login with my TPLink credentials in order to use the tplink DDNS service is not non-volatile and gets erased upon any reset of the router and that many of the configurable settings are volatile as well. Although there is no apparent rhyme or reason to which settings survive a reboot, I can make a full list of everything that is not kept between reboots if you'd like.
