  @turns2stone I'm sorry about that. I hoped it would fix things for you. Maybe we're seeing different bugs then?

  @kellisj2003 agreed. I'm getting the iPhone 15 Pro next week, be great to see how it works with WiFi 6E.

  @turns2stone idea for you from a Tier 3 at Qualcomm. They're asking if you're using the Cat6 Ethernet cable that came with your Deco's. If so, they wonder if there is an issue with the TP-Link Ethernet cable. 
 

They had similar issues at his call center with the Deco BE85's and BE95's, and when they replaced them with Cat8 Ethernet cables the overheat/fan(s) running wild issues cleared up. They're using Cat8 Ethernet cables made by Orbram, and available from Amazon. 

 

Just an idea, but they're wondering if maybe trying those cables or Cat6a cables could fix your issue.  What do you think?

The fans ended up still kicking on for my main router once in an 8 hour time period this past week after the update. I am using Cat 8 cables btw. My node (connected via wired backhaul) has not kicked on, however.

Interesting theory, but I'm not using the included cable. One unit has a high-quality 23awg Belkin Cat6a cable, the other is using Cat6a structured cable straight from my patch panel.

  @turns2stone has it only gone mad once, or still following the previous pattern?
