Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.1

Hi!
I just bought BE550 to upgrade my network system. Here is my setup: Latop equipped with Qualcomm FASTCONNECT 7800 Wi-Fi 7 adapter, driver version 3.1.0.1354 connect to BE550. Each one of 2.4/5/6ghz band & MLO works fine. But I have a problem with connection over Wi-Fi 7 (be) protocol - it's established sporadically either in 6Ghz or MLO band, randomly, without any system... 6Ghz sygnal strength & S/N ratio are excellent. But router choses WiFi 6E (ax) protocol connection instead of Wi-Fi 7 (be)  protocol...
Moreover, as I founded out after some investigation, connection over Wi-Fi 7 (be) protocol is possible only during a short period of time (~30 sec.) immediately after restarting the router or manipulations in router's control pannel in wireless settings section that causes reset & restart router's RF modules.
In addition MLO behavior is very uncommon - only one frequency band is used, instead of 2 or 3 bands! 


Any advice?

I believe that current wireless adapter for pc allow a maximum of two bands in MLO mode

Hi, welcome to our community.

Here are some suggestions for your reference:

1. Check if there's a newer driver version available for your Qualcomm FASTCONNECT 7800 adapter.

2.Check router settings: 

   Band Steering: If your router has band steering enabled, consider temporarily disabling it to see if that helps with connection stability.

   Channel Selection: Manually set the 6 GHz channel to a less congested one, as automatic channel selection can sometimes cause issues.
3. Review the configuration for MLO network and ensure that it’s properly set up to use all available bands.

4. Interference Check
Environmental Interference: Check for potential sources of interference (e.g., other electronic devices, thick walls, or metal objects) that could affect the 6 GHz band.
Wi-Fi Analyzer: Use a Wi-Fi analyzer app to check for channel congestion and identify the best channels for your setup.

5.Testing Connections
   Isolate the Connection: Temporarily disable all other devices connected to the network to see if the problem persists with just your laptop.
   Different Device Testing: If possible, test another device that supports Wi-Fi 7 to determine if the issue lies with the laptop’s adapter.

6. Factory Reset on the router and reconfigure it.
If the suggestions above can not help, we recommend contacting our technical support for further investigation.
