Hello, I've succesfully downgraded my main be230 to version 1.1.1 from the website and my speeds are correct now. Both wired and wireless. Everything is pointing to the new firmware somehow.

I've troubleshooted this for hours now, trying to unmesh the device and use it as a standalone router and when I do that, I can access the 2.5gb port when connected directly to the BE230 2.5gb port (it has 2 - a WAN and LAN). The BE230 also show's it's connected to a 2.5gb LAN on the satellite so I know it's not the port on the 55 that's broken.

 

But when I change the setup back to Mesh with the 55 Pro as the satellite, the 2.5gb port isn't detected and the AX55 keeps trying to connect via wifi instead. When I swap the ethernet cable to the 1gb port, it finally detects ethernet again and changes the icon. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any advice is appreciated!!

 

Other things I've tried: 

 

1. Swapped the ethernet cable, which didn't work. And doesn't make sense, because when I unmesh the satellite router, I can use the 2.5gb port without an issue.

2. I've thought about switching the AX55 as the main and using the BE230 as the satellite, but that's not preferred since the BE is newer with wifi 7.

10g Fiber----BE800---5 port 2.5 switch---AX55pro (dashes are NOT wifi, all cat 6)

I also have the AX55 Pro connected to a BE800  and have had this same experience. After setting up as mesh, I plug into the 2.5 wan/lan and it connects back haul via wifi. Then if I plug into a 1gig lan port all is well, shows a wired 1000mbps connection. I have a 5 port 2.5 switch, known connections working at 2300 up/down and all low latency etc. 

I bought the AX55 pro because it's 2.5 port is wan/lan so it should work as 2.5 ethernet back haul.. but it doesn't work. Is there still a beta available to resolve this? I've also considered returning as this is a recent purchase and the BE230 is about one hundred dollar as of 2/25 

 

The AX55 pro is v1.6
