Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3

Had load of issues over the last new days using fixed connections.

 

I've a BE550 V1 (or is it a BE9300 - that's what it says on the top of the web page!). That has a couple of hard-wired AX18s hanging off it working as access points. If I'm physically connected to the AX18s the BE550 router seem to have problems - the 192.168.0.1 admin page continuously disconnects, it drops connections etc (which is even more annoying if it's a streaming video service!). If I switch to WiFi connections the problems don't appear but the reason for wired is that WiFi has issues in my house - the brick has a very high iron content and all internal walls are constructed with it!

 

Noticed that the firmware auto-updated recently to 1.2.3 to fix a wired connection issue related to IPTV. I don't personally use IPTV but it's interesting that work was done in that area of the firmware stack. I've just tried downgrading back to 1.2.1 on the BE550 and everything is back to normal.

 

For the moment I'll turn autoupdate off on the device and stick to 1.2.1. I'll monitor the availability of updates obvs.

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Did you use the same WiFi SSID on the Archer BE550 and the two Archer AX18s?

 

"If I'm physically connected to the AX18s, the BE550 router seems to have problems - the 192.168.0.1 admin page continuously disconnects, it drops connections, etc.

(which is even more annoying if it's a streaming video service!)."

-If there is only BE500, were you still having the same issue?

-Or did the disconnection already start when both AX18s in Access Point mode are wired into the BE550?

 

If you'd like to further cooperate with us, please send an email to the local technical support:
