When I re-connected the old routers back into the mesh network, both Tplink Web UI and Tether (logged into BE800) would incorrectly show my iot devices are Ethernet wired to my old router. All my iots were actually wirelessly connected to BE800 only.

Thank you very much for all the details.
Regarding the web UI display issue with all three satellite EasyMesh nodes connected to the BE800, can the issue be reproduced consistently? Our engineering team would like to investigate further and may need to collaborate with you.
If possible, we'll contact you via your registered email to discuss this further.

Yes. The issue is reproducible. I would say 50% chance of recurrence.

Hello Kevin. I found a new bug.
On my BE800 device, stop showing my DNS name from TP-LINK, which I provided before.
Also, I can't add any more new dynamic DNS for my USB storage for FTP. (but the old one still works, and I can log in to my FTP by DNS name even if it does not show up lol)
