BE550v1 - Don't work OFDMA + MU-MIMO and weak WiFi Signal.
Hello, i recently buy BE550 Router and i notice when i select OFDMA + MU-MIMO on WIFI settings, after refresh or after little time router alone switch to: OFDMA only. And after switching it i need restart router, because 6Ghz band is not visible anymore.
Also i notice 5GHz band has much stronger and stable signal than 6Ghz band.
6GHz band from 1 meter has between -43/-45 dBm but 2 meters from router jump between to -46/-59 dBm.
5GHz from 1 meter is stable -25dBm and from 2 meters -30/-32 dBm all parameters its of line of sight. And both 5ghz and 6ghz works separate on 160mhz with ax mode.

@ChrisBS Hi, the app looks super useful. May I ask what it is? Also, I believe the numbers on paper are theoretical values, or maybe got measured like 1mm away from the antennas. Still, the 3-4 dBm loss seems like a lot if you measured them literally by the router.

Hello, this is "WiFiman" app for android. Router when connected to device telling to device what is transmit power of his antennas. That not depends of range, and how far you connected. On green (-dBM) that depends of range and other values. but i measure always 2m line of sight.
TP-link engineers really need to do optimalization because is so many errors in code inside firmware. I tested two firmware (official one and beta one) and i had different signal measures on them. On beta firmware 6Ghz become little stronger but 5Ghz become weaker but anyway i keep it because works there OFDMA + MU-MIMO and connection become more stable by WiFi. All my test what i do for now, BE550 works only OK with intel WifI cards but still signal coverage is weaker than AX55 :(
I still waiting when engineers send me a new firmware to test out again everything once again.

@ChrisBS I'm also seeing the same thing on firmware 1.0.9. You're right, the spec sheet says otherwise.

I got a BE550 in Japan and set it up in my house (two floors, 50 meters square each).
I also have a Sony modem (nsd-g1000t), equipped with a reliable WIFI6 wireless router function, which was provided by my internet provider.
After I got the BE550, I found the signal coverage is not as strong as the Sony one.
| NSD-G1000T (location at 1/F) |
I can get a stable WIFI signal in all of my rooms at 2/F with my iphone 14pro |
| BE550 Same location as above Hardware: V1 Firmware: 1.0.8 |
Couldn't get stable WIFI signal at 1 of the farthest room at 2/F my iphone 14pro |
I expected better WIFI coverage or at least on par with the modem router I got.
The BE550 definitely gives a weaker WIFI signal, which is very frustrating since this is not a cheap product.
Lucky I got an old Buffalo WIFI router which also has EasyMech, but it only support up to WIFI6, not WIFI6E

Hi, When you are using NSD-G1000T and Archer BE550, and you put the iPhone 14 pro to test in the farthest room at 2/F, did you connect the phone to 2.4GHz wi-fi band of the tw routers respectively? If not, can you test like this? And it is also suggested to test 5GHz and 6GHz wi--fi band.
Can you share any screenshots to show the signal strength received by the phone?

I am currently using BE550 V1 with beta firmware 1.999. Previously use 1.07.. MLO channel for disconnected after few hrs and can't go back. Now testing the beta firmware. I find that need to set channel 69 for 6ghz to get the most stable and fastest speed. However the MLO channel still disconnect and connect randomly when switching between 5ghz only, 5ghz+6ghz, or 6ghz only..
MLO(5ghz+6ghz) speedtest is always lower then only 6ghz.. Tplink.. The product already launched since long ago and still so many bugs... MLO is fake.. Is not 5ghz + 6ghz bandwith but either 6ghz or 5ghz..tplink pls buck up.
