  @Kevin_Z Thanks Kevin but is this Official firmware any differant from the beta 1.0.11 build 202450801?

 

-     Beta 1.0.11 build 20240801

- Official 1.0.11 build 20240807

 

My router doesn't find any new firwares due to the version and only differance I can see is the last digit which i'll assume are possibly related to compiled dates.

  @Kevin_Z 

 

Hi,

 

Great news, I have been running on the 1.0.11 beta for a few weeks now (since you shared it on the forum) so I look forward to try the official version.

 

However, if I look at the TP-Link firmware download page for my country/region (Sweden/Europe) there has not been any updates since 1.0.8. But if I look at the US equivalent there has been several. Why is that? Is Europe not as prioritized market? When can I expect the 1.0.11 to be released in my region since I need to use the region specific firmware to not void my warranty.

 

Thanks and regards,

Lasse

  @TheHypnooToad If this was a more upto date firmware I would've tried flashing the US version but I really don't see this as an improvment over the 1.0.11 beta that I already have.

 

EDIT:

 

Beta     : be550v1-up-all-ver1-0-11-P1[20240801-rel15163]_sign_beta.bin

Official : be550v1-up-all-ver1-0-11-P1[20240807-rel25691]_sign_2024-08-07_15.47.04.bin

 

Unless i'm wrong, to me all thats changed is the digital signature date.

@David6479 Hello David, thanks for asking.

 

The official version 1.0.11 build 20240807 is currently the latest release for the BE550 V1. This version includes all the modifications and fixes found in the beta version 1.0.11 build 20240801.

 

As this latest official version is being gradually rolled out, not all devices automatically detect the new firmware on their router page just yet. If you cannot detect this version, please download the firmware using the provided link or from the local website, and then upgrade your router manually.

@LBQ No, that is not the case. Some local website admins may delay the firmware upload due to time differences and they might update the website resources later in a week. You may check that later.

 

If you cannot wait, you can download the new official version from the global website, as your BE550 is likely an EU version since you're located in Sweden:

Was bored so ended up just downloading from the Global site and flashing the router. As expected all went fine with the process and side stepped from the 1.0.11 beta to 1.0.11 official.

Hi

 

I've tried the latest offical firmware BE550 1.0.11 Build 20240807 rel.25691(5553) for over a week.

 

Everythings seems working fine until I noticed that my Samsung S24Ultra which connects to the MLO SSID is always using either 5Ghz or 6Ghz bands when MLO is enable at the BE550 for both bands.

 

Here is the screenshot from my S24U Connectivity Labs showing it has been connected to Wifi7 for over 100 hours (5Ghz 34 hours and 6Ghz 78 hours) but (Multi-Link) MLO shows 0 hours.

 

I hope my understanding is correct that Wifi7 Clients are supposed to use all the bands simultaneously but it isn't in my case. Please advice.

 

Thanks 

 

 

 

This is the BE550 MLO network configuration:

@PandaJas 

 

Thank you very much for the feedback.

 

The connectivity may still show as connected to 5G/6G even when your Samsung S24 Ultra is on the MLO network due to how MLO functions. MLO allows devices to connect to multiple bands simultaneously. Your phone may still be connected to both the 5G/6G band and the MLO network, which can lead to it displaying a connection to a higher frequency.

 

How about the connection status of the MLO network displayed on the BE550's web interface? Can we have a screenshot? You may mask some sensitive information before posting.

 

Meanwhile, please verify whether the status displayed in the Connectivity Labs software accurately reflects the current connection state. If possible, test this software while your phone is connected to another MLO network from a different brand.
