Hello,

Looking for some advice / a steer in the right direction. I have been using my Archer BE550 fine since I purchased it in May 2025. Approx 3-4 weeks ago, I received a firmware update that seemed to knock all my ethernet devices offline BUT the WiFi remained unaffected.

I have all 4 ports in use for:
EV Charger
Eufy Home Security
Desktop Computer
Hive

-

I did a few restarts and plugged each ethernet back in one at a time and this seemed to do the trick. Today I had another issue where they stopped working. I've logged into http://192.168.0.1/ and found that I had another update. So I've since done this update. There's no ability to 'roll back' on the portal. When I look at the actual 'firmwares' on https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/download/archer-be550/v1/#Firmware I see v1.2.1 as the last version, so am I being moved to beta versions which are buggy?

I obviously rely on wired a lot for my CCTV system, heating and EV charger, so its important I get this working.

I have read seperately that the Hive can be tempermental with 2.5G ports, so as a side note, anyway I can force a port to 1G?
