Firmware Version: V2_1.2.1 Build 20250917

Dear TP-Link Team,
I’m a huge fan of your brand — I think TP-Link is the best out there! I’ve invested a lot: Archer BE900 (main), BE800, and BE550, all wired via Cat8 Ethernet in EasyMesh for perfect coverage.
But MLO (Multi-Link Operation) only works on the main BE900. Satellites (BE800/BE550) don’t broadcast MLO-capable SSID — clients like my iPhone 17 only get one band (e.g., 6 GHz) when connected to them. Near the BE900 (living room/kitchen), full MLO shines (multi-band parallel). But in the master bedroom/study (BE800) or kids’ bedrooms (BE550), no multi-link — big loss for Wi-Fi 7!
This should be fixed ASAP with a firmware update: extend MLO to satellites so every node supports multi-band parallel for clients. With this hardware, it’s doable!
Thanks for listening — keep up the great work!
Best regards

  @rmont5ec ,

Thanks for reaching out, and thank you so much for your support and investment in TP-Link products! 

 

May I know the hardware and firmware versions of every router?

How to find the hardware and firmware version of my TP-Link device

 

Currently, the Archer BE550-v2's 1.3.1 Build 20251229 pre-release firmware supports extended MLO Backhaul. Please refer to:

Enhanced EasyMesh Support with Extended Guest/IoT/MLO Networking and Advanced Features for BE550 V2

 

However, please note that this feature only works if the main router also supports MLO Backhaul.

Pre-release firmwares are available for both the Archer BE900-v2 and Archer BE800-v1; please refer to:

△New Firmware for Archer BE800 V1 to Support VPN Merge, EasyMesh Guest/IoT Network Extend, and More

△New Firmware for Archer BE900 V2 to Support Multi-WAN, DoH/DoT, EasyMesh in AP Mode and More
