Network instability in BE85 mesh network

I recently implemented a new mesh wifi-network using the new Deco BE85 units. The characteristics are as follows:
- The main Deco unit is directly connected to the Zyxel modem/router (viber 1 GB up/down);
- I use a TL-Link switch for all the cat 5e ethernet lines throughout the house (POE is disabled for now);
- The other 2 Deco units are located on the first floor and attic using the ethernet backhaul;
- The network has been set to router mode first (love the features there), but now back to access point mode;
- I'm not using the Wi-Fi 7 or 6E features.
I've seen some strange behaviour for which I need your support:
- Apple HomePods (2nd gen and mini) drop off the network from time to time, always requiring a full factory reset when it happens. They just don't reconnect anymore once they drop off. I've tried using a fixed IP (Deco in router mode), disabling the mesh for these devices and even specifying a preferred Deco unit to connect to;
They advised the network setup as I have implemented and described above; - Downloading apps or iPhones updates does not work anymore, though regular browsing, watching videos etc. is working as expected. When I try to install or update an app for the IOS app store, it doesn't always succeed. It gets stuck when downloading. Same goes for downloading IOS updates. I have not been able to download an update (2-6 GB) after implementing the new network;
- Downloads from the internet fail from a Windows PC even if these are only 200-300 MB.
I'm looking for any help to stop me from returning the equipment. Thanks!

Hi All,
The 1.0.14 Build 20231124 Rel. 32537 has finally and hopefully fixed the issues on my side (DECO BE85 v1). More than 4 months waiting for a fix, I will now unplug the Ethernet cable
I will continue to test.
