@David-TP I have experienced two issues first one mentioned earlier in this thread that the 5ghz network kept reporting radar scanning and would alter configuration for 30 mins. Since restarting all decos this has stopped.
2nd issue is related to Tapo P110m's are showing as offline (I have 8 and only 1 is showing online) in the deco app however they are working fine via Alexa / Tapo app. I have restarted some of the smart plugs and Deco but still not showing online. This has never been a problem for me.

@curiousbeaver78 while waiting on David to reply I was wondering if this issue has been going since you have installed the Beta? Have you configured the internet backup feature at all? One of the features in the Beta now lets you fix the WAN port on the Primary Deco "Settings | Advanced | WAN Port". Disable Auto WAN port and pick your current WAN port (think it picks the current port for you). I believe this should stop the deco's seeking an internet connection when your WAN connection fails (also means the wired network will work between the decos when the WAN is down). Wondering if the decos are wondering when it thinks the internet is down.

This is a very detailed breakdown - thank you so much for taking the time to report this. I'm having an issue with just one 2.4GHz IoT device, a restart of that client genrally fixes things for a while before having to restart it again. Deco app shows that it is online.
@David-TP do you think we might receive an updated firmware version based upon some of the feedback in this thread?

Hi, can I have the model number of the network switch here?
Did you set Deco into "Access Point" or "Wireless Router" mode?
Deco BE65-1.3.0 supports fixing the WAN port. Does it make any difference if we set the port connected to the ISP modem/gateway as the fixed WAN port?
I'll also follow up on your case via email. After fixing the WAN port, if the same issue repeats, before rebooting the main Deco, could you please go to the web admin UI and help me save the system log?
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

Hi David! My network configuration is pretty simple, All Decos are BE65 Main Deco >>> Switch >>> Satellite Deco A and B (not daisy chained, both using different switch port) the issues that i found is that 1. Sometimes the main deco switched from Main Deco to Deco A (or B sometimes) 2. During the "switch" , internet access is gone. Restarting Main Deco seems to fix the problem. But i got this problem at least once a day.

@David-TP Hello Again
I have submitted the logs as requested. My setup is quite simple.
2 X Deco BE65's
1 is a BE65 V2 and this is my master unit (living room)
1 is a BE65 V1 and this is the secondary unit in my home office at the bottom of my garden (den)
Units are connected together via a cat6a run between both deco's (no switches between them). Cable length is roughly 30m
What I found was as soon as one of the smart plugs (P110m) was power cycled it would show as offline in the Deco app however it worked fine in the Tapo app as well via Alexa. I decided to remove all of the devices from the Deco App and then try and add them again. They don't even get discovered in when you search for them like they used too. Not a massive show stopper for me but would be good to get the feature working again. Everything else appears to be working well for me on the Beta.

Is the NAT Loopback issue that was introduced with version 1.2.10 resolved with this firmware version?
https://www.reddit.com/r/TpLink/comments/1qinp79/latest_be63_firmware_broke_nat_loopback/
I had to revert back to 1.2.0 to resolve it so I'm holding off on updating to this firmware for now (as it mentions this version can't be downgraded back to 1.2.0).
BE63 in my case and issue is only affected on Ethernet connections not over WiFi for some reason.

Hi, welcome to the community.
I saw there were 2 similar feedback on NAT Loopback on the 1.3.0 version. The cases have been escalated to the senior engineers. I haven't received an update yet.
If you'd like to cooperate with our senior engineer, you could send an email to support.forum@tp-link.com;
Subject: [Forum Escalation][ID 856030]Deco BE65 NAT Loopback.
It would be highly appreciated if you could include the email on how the Ethernet device is connected to the Mesh Network(to which Deco? Would there be a switch?), as well as where the Home Assistant server is located.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
