@David_TP-Link David, do you have any updates with resolving the critical firmware issues effecting this Model, BE65, and potentially other models that use this firmware?

This has actually gotten worse somehow tonight, and I haven't changed anything. My 5 GHz network in particular keeps dying under barely any load. Like 10-20 Mbps according to the Deco app. On my laptop, PHY/link speed will start dropping after a bit and then dips below 100 to nearly 0 and I start getting frequent disconnects until I reconnect to the Wi-Fi and link speed goes back to around 2100-2402 for a bit, but remains unstable and jumps around a lot.

Support had me disable 2 of my iot switches for testing as they were cuasing heavy traffic. Did that and no improvements.

Also today I woke up to an ISP outage, and for some reason that caused half of my devices to go offline, even a wired device. What's going on with these routers?

  @Murtaza911 I completely understand your frustration.

My network is a single SSID, no switches, nothing fancy. I'm still unable to use my soundbar via my Bose app, in addition to various clients dropping off the Deco, will connect to another one, yet not work, even though you can see it connected in the Deco app. I'm back to having throughput issues using Microsoft Teams, initally the call will be fine, then the video becomes really choppy.

I find it hard to understand why TP Link is not able to locate the issue within their own firmware. Especially wth a Senior Engineer reaching out to you.

We could keep this threat, and many others like this one alive until these issue are resolved.

@David-TP Are you able to provide this tread an update on what TP Link are doing to resolve the firmware issues myself and others have raised?

I have provided router logs, most recently this morning as my deco's are now randomly crashing, returning back to a start up yellow light, and after a few minutes returning back to a green light. This is in addition to all the other critial firmware bugs version 1.2.0 has introduced.

Ever since my remote session with the TP-Link support engineer, my network has been a lot more stable. I'm only getting a few devices going off line now.

They told me by email we can do another session to sort these out as well. So just making a list now to see if there are any consistent ones going off line or if its random.

One weird thing I am noticing with my Apple Home Pods, is when they go off line, they come back online with a different mac address and it shows up as a wired connection. I think this has to do with Apples privacy features but not 100% sure.

Only other problem I experienced was when my ISP went down, all Ethernet ports on the main node stopped working.  Google says this is becayse of the auto wan detection, so maybe they can disable this feature as well when we have our next remote session.

I have also added backmy remaining extra XE75 Pro. The first time I added this extra one the entire network went crazy and everything started disconnecting. But now everything seems ok!

I think I'm feeling confident enough to keep these BE65 Pros, and not return them.

  @Murtaza911  I'm happy to hear you've had some progress. 
 

However you cannot have an engineer remote into your router when there is an issue, and hopefully they've found what are causing these problems and reissue an update for everyone. 
 

I have some wifi only clients that show up as wired in the deco app, including my iPhone 17 pro today, some led blubs and my robot vacuum cleaner. So figure. 
 

Biggest gripe for me right now, my soundbar not being and to be control via its app, therefore I lose some functionality, and, the deco randomly crashing; on top of what I have previously mentioned. 

I hope, and I'm still awaiting an update from TP Link. Let's see if they do the right thing by people who have bought these. 

  @Murtaza911 can you let us know what changes were made so maybe it'll help the rest of us out? Thanks!

  @ToneAU 

I agree, I don't think it's reasonable to require an engineer to come in and fix each customer's problem. Hopefully they can take their findings and apply to to a firmware update soon. 

Im having the same issue where sometimes a device disconnects and it shows up as wired the next time it connects. 
 

It's a shame, because on paper these are excellent pieces of equipment. Especially for the price, when comparing to something like eero which is a lot more expensive and has a subscription for things included on these routers for free.  Unfortunately these don't work lol.

I personally haven't made any changes. The tpnlink engineer remoted in and fixed everything. So I have no idea what they did. They ran a bunch of commands through the terminal and sshd in.
