@NPGrey Not yet. That optimization will be reviewed thoroughly via the firmware code and may be included in future updates.

  @Kevin_Z Will try the upgrade later. Can you tell what are the main differences between this new version and the previous pre-release firmware? Something special to check or verify?

  @Kevin_Z 

Thank for the update. It works fine for me. 
The reboot option for satellite is a good idea, but not supported by Re800be, which share the same form factor ( an hardware ?) with BE 800. This extender hadn't have any update yet, is it on the way?
 

bonus question: is it a way to show the hour on the LCD front panel of the BE800?

Noticed that my MLO network won't interact with my regular 2.4/5G network. My phone is on the MLO and my security cameras are on my 2.4/5G. If I pull up my cameras on my phone they won't load but if I switch my phone over to the 2.4/5G network they will. On the last beta they worked fine.

Fixed. I had to re-setup my RE550. It was working fine but for some reason just didn't want my other network to access it.

  @Kevin_Z I installed the new update this morning. I was happy to know that the router knew that there was an update and I didn't have to download it! I've not experienced any issues as of yet.

@Kevin_Z  Great update! EasyMesh support in AP mode and DoH/DoT security are solid additions. Excited to test the 3-band MLO connection for better performance!

The 1.2.1 pre release seems to be running smoothly and performantly, but purely cosmetically (see image below), the "CAMFlur" is displayed incorrectly by the connection, because it is connected via cable to the WLAN satellite (RE6000XD in the mesh) on LAN1.

@memzila In addition to the new features listed, this firmware includes significant wireless driver enhancements that improve system stability and compatibility, addressing performance issues related to reboots and wireless connectivity.

 

I remember your concerns about managing the satellite BE800. With this new 1.2.1 version, you can now reboot the satellite, upgrade its firmware, and control its LED.

 

This update should also resolve the IP renewal issue you reported for the satellite unit. You can disable the smart DHCP feature on its management page to prevent this.
