@Kevin_Z So I turned off device and turned back on. And still negative feedback after latest update to v.1.1.1. Router goes like disconnecting or restarting self. This happen so often after latest update.
P.S. I want to see logs and #TF. I can't see, because when router reboots self logs are deleted. And I can't see what is issue why router reboots self. Now is so annoying every two minutes router reboots self. Chat support doesn't work. Phone support up to GBP0.55 per minute.

My BE550 has been running wonderfully and without any problems since the update. Only when the ECO mode is activated do I experience stuttering for a very short time or the wireless connection is lost for a short time when the 2.4GHz wireless network is switched off. The latter is probably because the entire wireless restarts when just one wireless frequency is switched off.
Have you already tried a complete reset to factory settings and then a reconfiguration?

Ok, I'll look what I can do. Reset device and reconfigure. But absolutely this is nightmare. No Eco Mode isn't enabled. I have set on normal.
