  @turns2stone almost like it's a known issue that they don't have a fix for... hopefully an upcoming firmware update fixes the issue. I'm getting along fine using the top 10gig jack and 2.5gig for backhaul since I only have a 2gig connection.

  @kellisj2003 That's my theory as well. I have 5Gbps fiber internet, so I really can use the 10Gbps backhaul, and was counting on the second 10Gbps ports to feed other devices in the room(s) for my 5Gbps internet.

There is a new firmware update just released for the BE85; you may have to get it from the BE85 download page. Try it out and see if it fixes your issues.

  @Richardj186 just updated today. So far I haven't noticed any fan noise while using either 10gb ports! What about you?

Has the update fixed your fan issues? Seems to have fixed mine.

  @kellisj2003 

 

I will be trying tonight or this weekend. Hard to boot everyone off the internet for even 5 minutes ha.

  @kellisj2003 no issues here now either. They actually seem a little cooler temperature wise (to touch) then before, and more responsive too. Wonder what the bug(s) was/were.

  Firmware 230815 for HW V2.6 did not solve anything for me. Within 60 seconds of the update and a power cycle after I switched to the lower port, the fans ramped right on back up.

  @Richardj186 great to hear. I'm also receiving around a 8-10% increase in speeds testing with my iPhone 14. Great to see this was fixed (at least so far) and a boost in performance.
