Hello,

Thank you very much for providing access to the download link for the beta version. I will test it this weekend.


I noticed that for the V2 of the BE65, there is a more advanced beta version (1.1.4). Does the beta version 1.1.0 for the BE65 V1 include the improvements from version 1.1.4? Or will there soon be a 1.1.4 version for V1 as well?

 

Thank you very much,

@Chuck-XM , I'm checking with him and will update you later. Personally, I think it might be a newer version than 2050107.

 

 

@Anaxim77 

While Deco BE65_V1 might be still a few steps slower than V2. The 1.1.0_20250107 beta isn't as updated as 1.1.4 for V2.

Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP ,

Hi, for your information, support have send me a new firmware 1.1.0_build_20250120 to 20250124

 

It is better, the warning message for "WAN Speed port" has disappeared.

 

But, I have always poor speed test results.

 

We are making progress.

Hello,

After a few days of testing:

  • Being able to change the WiFi channel is very convenient.
  • After a few days of use without restarting the Decos or performing a network optimization, I noticed significant drops in speed. I feel like the 6 GHz band gets deactivated, even though it is still displayed. After a network optimization, everything works again.
  • My 2017 MacBook Pro performs very poorly on the 5 GHz band. The WiFi disconnects, or there is no internet. I have to force it to use 2.5 GHz, in which case it works.

Thanks for the feedback.

Deco BE65 supports a "Reboot Schedule" and I think you might set a daily reboot schedule to see whether it helps regularly optimize the network.

 

For the MacBook 2017, I saw similar feedback on Deco BE25 today. Honestly, I don't think it is relevant to the Deco firmware. 

But it is still suggested to try the recommended suggestions here:

Best regards.

After about 1 week testing:

- manual channel selection works very good and is especially needed for 2.4GHz

- option to disable 2.4 Ghz backhaul is also very useful and seems to work fine

- when disable 2.4 GHz backhaul and enable manual channel selection then the both Decos work on the same channel, are you planning to add a feature to select 2.4 GHz channel separately to main Deco and satellite Deco ("high capasity mode" is not possible now if using manual channel selection)

- during the 1 week testing, the main deco almost 24/7 give the full 1 Gbps speed (1Gbps optical fiber) when in 6G and about 800-900 Mbps in 5G (which has some interference from the neighbor) - great

- satellite deco has speeds of 300-500 Mbps only, even the wireless backhaul is green (no visible difference if enable 2.4GHz backhaul) - I'm planning to build a wired backhaul, which maybe helps

- I don't have any "low speed WAN" issues, but on the other hand maybe that is only an issue to WAN speeds >1Gbps

- however, in the last one day the satellite deco has been down (red light blinking) 2 times and the only way is to restart it - this has not ever happened before

- is there an estimate when to go live with V1 FW update, because the official FW is already 6 months of age!!

- I have noticed that there maybe are more recent beta versions than the public early access version (20250120), are the beta updates available somewhere?
