Archer BE805 randomly dropping wifi clients after 1.3.3 firmware upgrade
I have constant 60 clients with all the smart home devices and such. After yesterday night's 1.3.3 firmware upgrade half of them drop off every 10seconds... will try to downgrade back to 1.3.1
not sure what was messed up with the upgrade, please check.

Hi @tlgcglr ,
Welcome to our community.
Have you rolled the firmware back to 1.3.1? Does it help?
Besides wireless devices, can wired devices work properly? Please temporarily turn off some smart home clients for comparison.
On the router, you can also try to change the channel and channel width: Changing Channel and Channel Width on a TP-Link Router (new logo)
Also change DNS for a try: How to Change the DNS servers on the wireless router.
Best Regards.

I did and then I had to do a factory reset to clear
out all modified configurations. Much more stable now.
I did some analysis on 1.3.3 , wifi broadcasting of the router itself was disappearing so much. I watched it with a software on mobile device and my laptop. Was weird. Wifi was on for a few min and then off for a minute and on and off...

@tlgcglr Thank for posting. I was running the last beta after bad dropouts from the last official. The beta worked 80 - 90%. Still, I use the USB drives attached and access like a shared server on other devices. That was working better with the beta, too. Now, everything's gone to pot.
Let me know if you were able to downgrade, and if it shows significant improvement.

@Squair Actually, I still have some old firmwares and found the beta... BE805v1_1.3.1_250825_beta.zip and uploaded the bin. Stability seems to be a rare comodity.

I tried so many things to make this router work but no luck... things stay stable for a day or two with 1.3.1 but then specifically mobile phones on wifi start pulsing WiFi connection on/off/on every second, it was crazy. Not one phone, 3 iphones and 2 androids same thing... and all other smart home clients dropping out back on and dropping out... not sure whats wrong with this routers wifi capabilities. I believe it is the firmware though.
I ended up returning it back to costco...
