Firmware Version:

To TP-Link Global Support / Engineering Team,

 

I am writing this email to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with the lack of support I have received. Despite numerous emails regarding the stability of my network after installing the provided beta firmware, I have received zero response.

 

This is my final attempt to resolve this through your support channels. If I do not receive an immediate technical intervention, I will be returning all products (Deco units and Omada switch) to the seller and replacing my entire infrastructure with a competing manufacturer's system.

 

Network Hardware Profile:

  • Main Router: 1 x Deco BE65 (Running Beta Firmware received on Dec 1st).

  • Satellites: 2 x Deco BE65 + 1 x Deco BE25 (Configuration: Ethernet Backhaul).

  • Switch: TP-Link Omada SG3218XP-M2 (2.5GbE Managed Switch).

  • Cabling: Certified Cat.6 copper.

 

The "16-Day Stability Leak" Observation: The beta firmware (MLO fix) provided on December 1st appeared stable for exactly 16 days. On December 17th, the system suffered a total collapse. This indicates a severe Memory Leak or MAC Table Corruption that accumulates over time until the "Network Resource Daemon" (nrd) fails.

 

Current Critical Failures:

  1. Broadcast Storms: System logs show hundreds of DHCP DISCOVER/OFFER cycles per second, rendering the network unusable.

  2. Hardware Hangs: Satellites frequently go "Offline" (Solid Red LED).

  3. Total IoT Collapse: All 2.4GHz devices have lost connectivity.

  4. Wired Latency: Severe packet loss (Request timed out) even on wired connections, affecting CCTV security cameras.

 

Technical Diagnostics (Based on Attached Logs v3, v4):

  • MAC Flapping Loop: The Deco system is incorrectly identifying the SG3218XP-M2 switch (MAC: E0:D3:62:0A:72:4B) as a roaming wireless station. This creates an internal loop between eth and ath interfaces, which standard STP (currently set to Priority 32768 on the switch) cannot stop.

  • Driver Errors: Constant daemon.err nrd: send ioctl failed entries prove that the Deco OS is losing communication with its own network drivers.

 

Troubleshooting Already Conducted (with no success):

  • Assigned Static IP (10.5.236.250) to the switch outside the DHCP range.

  • Enabled/Disabled IGMP Snooping and Querier.

  • Verified physical layer (replaced SFP with RJ45).

  • Toggled Beamforming and Fast Roaming.

 

Expectations: I require an immediate response from a senior network engineer. I need a stable firmware that correctly handles Ethernet Backhaul on 2.5GbE managed switches without creating wireless loops for infrastructure MAC addresses.

 

As stated, if this is not addressed immediately, I will proceed with a full return of all TP-Link hardware and switch to another brand.

 

I am awaiting your urgent reply here or through the mail.

 

Best regards, Łukasz

Hi, nice to see you again.

It's recommended to wait for further assistance from the senior engineer through email.

Moreover, if you're interested, a new firmware 1.2.10 of Deco BE65_V2 is ready for testing:

Deco BE65_V2_1.2.10 New Firmware with Enhanced Stability & Interference Resistance

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
