BE85 frequent connection drops and wifi disconnects on 1.2.1
Hi, I've had nothing but troubles after installing Deco BE85(US)_V2.6_1.2.1 Build 20250731. The wifi frequently hangs for a few seconds and then reconnects. I also see that the wifi disconnects all together and then it reconnects. I have 2 BE85 units connected over ethernet. I use Apple devices to connect to the wifi. I did a factory reset on both the router and the access point but the issue persists. I bought 2 Eero Max 7 units to test and i have no issues, so i know it's not the wiring. Has anyone else experienced the same issues and how did you resolve them. My only option is to roll back to 1.2.0 and see if this helps, but was wondering if anyone was able to isolate the issue in 1.2.1. Thank you!

Thank you for your response! I wish i had seen your post before I rolled back to 1.2.0. I experienced the same disconnects for a few seconds and instability under 1.2.0 until i did a factory reset under 1.2.0. Things have been stable so far. If i start experiencing issues again i will definitely send you the logs.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the performance of my Deco Wi-Fi 7 system. I am currently using a combined setup of 2x Deco BE85, 1x Deco BE65, and 1x Deco BE65 Pro, all of which are connected via Ethernet Backhaul.
Despite the premium nature of these products, I am experiencing a connection "freeze" approximately every hour. This is particularly disruptive during Microsoft Teams meetings, where the connection drops or hangs for several seconds before recovering.
Key points regarding my experience:
-
Stability: While the peak performance is excellent when it works, the constant instability makes it impossible to rely on this system for professional work.
-
Troubleshooting: I have verified my cabling and configuration, but the freezes persist across all nodes.
-
Support Feedback: I have already contacted your helpdesk, but I was told they "cannot help me" at this time and that I must wait for the next firmware update. However, no ETA was provided for this release.
As a customer who has invested heavily in your flagship Wi-Fi 7 ecosystem, being told to "just wait" indefinitely for a fix to a fundamental connectivity issue is unacceptable. I am seriously considering selling the entire set and switching to a competitor (such as Eero,ASUS), as I have confirmed that other systems do not exhibit these issues on my network.
I am requesting a concrete timeline for the next firmware fix or access to a beta firmware that addresses these stability issues immediately.

i had the same issues with frequent freezes for only a few seconds. Zoom calls were a nightmare. After rolling back to 1.2.0 and doing a factory reset i haven't had a single freeze up in 6 days or so now, so I would suggest rolling back and disabling automatic updates until a more stable version is rolled out. You might want to generate log files and send them to TP-Link bore doing that. Hopefully that helps them identify the bug.
