@Kevin_Z Tado internet bridge is connected to ethernet port 4 but as you can see from the attached picture the port registers nothing. I have moved Tado to a Xyzel 10gb switch so it is not a crisis but it would be nice if the error is fixed
@bjomol I've sent you a beta firmware via a private message. Please install it on your BE800 to observe if the Tado internet bridge can be correctly recognized by the router.

If you urgently need the official firmware, you can download it from the link in my original post. This pre-release version works for both EU and US models.
If you're interested in the beta firmware that resolves the 10M/100Mbps connectivity issue, I can share it via message. Please let me know if you need the beta firmware.
