BE220 new firmware 1.1.6 lowers EasyMesh WiFi power on 2.4GHz
I've noticed that the WiFi power on easy mesh on 2.4GHz is reduced or impacted.
Reverted back manually to previous firmware 1.1.3 and no longer have issues with distant 2.4GHz cameras by Aqara losing connection all the time.
This particular firmware also causes random connectivity loss. I think it's worth reviewing a bit for issues TP-Link team.
Thanks

Hello @TonyThinkTank ,
Welcome to our community.
May I know if the other 2.4 GHz clients drop the connection after updating the firmware to 1.1.6? Or is it only the camera that is experiencing an unstable wireless connection?
Here are some suggestions that you can try:
For 2.4GHz wireless client devices, set the 2.4GHz channel width to 20MHz to avoid interference.
In the same Wireless Settings section, verify that 'Transmit Power' is set to High (Advanced > Wireless Settings).

@Joseph-TP hi
I got the connection drops from several 2.4GHz devices randomly only when on firmware 1.1.6.
So I reverted back the FW on all nodes and can work perfectly fine again. Tx power of WiFi is already maximum and all power saving features are off.
I'll keep the 20MHz bandwidth thing in mind, but with fw1.1.3 there's so need to change any settings at all and everything got impacted upon installing 1.1.6fw yes.

Hello @TonyThinkTank ,
You mentioned that you have several nodes. May I know if they are all BE220? How many nodes do you have at all?
May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:
ISP modem—BE220 nodes)))((( client devices
(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )

@Joseph-TP yes certainly
I have a simple setup with 3 nodes.
Topology is - ISP MODEM IN BRIDGE --> MAIN EASYMESH HEAD ---> small 8 port TP-LINK network switch (to maintain star topology to other TWO units from the network switch)
All units are exactly the same model and hardware V1 revision. ARCHER BE220.
All EASYMESH nodes are WIRED to eachother [Ethernet 6A backhaul] - All CAT6A cabling is tested with a tester to be functioning 100%.

Hello @TonyThinkTank ,
Thanks for your reply.
Have you checked the following settings in firmware 1.1.3 and 1.1.6 respectively:
1. 2.4GHz Channel: Are they the same? Are relatively clean channels (such as 1, 6, 11) selected for both?
2. Ambient Environment: Are there any new sources of 2.4GHz interference (such as newly purchased Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens) that appeared during the 1.1.6 update?
To determine whether the 2.4G disconnection only occurs on a specific EasyMesh node or throughout the entire Mesh network, please test the following:
1. 2.4GHz only on the master node: Temporarily turn off the Wi-Fi on both satellite nodes (or disable their 2.4GHz network in settings), allowing all 2.4GHz devices to connect only to the master node. Does the problem persist?
2. 2.4GHz only on satellite nodes: Disable the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on the master node, allowing devices to connect to the satellite nodes. Does the problem persist?
The tech team has been made aware of your case; they will likely reach out to you via email to continue troubleshooting. Please check your email inbox and confirm.
