I installed the BETA firmware 1.1.1 Build 250212 on Friday afternoon (GMT+1) and everything worked fine so far. Even if I'm not affected by the problem, it can't hurt if not just a handful of people test it, but perhaps one or two more people.
Yesterday, however, I noticed something strange and now I'm not sure if it was due to the BETA firmware or something else.
Every night at 3:50 am the system log is sent to me by email. On the night from Friday to Saturday, I also received the system log by email, but not on the night from Saturday to Sunday. I then tried to initiate the sending of the system log manually via the Archer BE550 web interface, but that didn't work. After clicking on Send, it took a while and suddenly my connection from the PC to the router was disconnected. I tried it a total of 4 times and each time I got the same result. That means that my PC was disconnected from the Archer BE550 on the network side and reconnected after about 30 to 60 seconds. Turning off the Flow Controller on the LAN side didn't help either, although that was my first suspicion. The router itself was online and accessible via the Tether app. Other clients also had internet access during this time.
Finally, I downgrade to the official firmware 1.1.1 Build 20241230 and reactivated the flow controller on the LAN side. I was then able to have the system log sent manually by email immediately and without any problems. I also received the system log by email again last night without any problems.
Was this just a stupid coincidence or could there possibly be a problem with this new BETA version? Maybe someone can try to reproduce and test it too.

Do you remember if the time settings on the BE550 as correct after installing the provided beta firmware? I cannot say for sure if this is an issue with the provided beta or a coincidence in your network at the moment.
I hope others who are installing this beta firmware can also help check the Email System Log feature on the BE550 and provide your feedback. @centouno @Baxajaun Can you guys please help check? Thank you very much.

After reading the problem I decided to try it and sure enough, it happens to me too.
When sending the report by email, the WIFI disconnects and reconnects after about 60 seconds.
It is definitely a firmware error.
