@David-TP there are comments related to this early access pre-release firmware in the earlier beta discussion.

https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/733416?replyId=1483518

Is there an estimate when the FW update BE65_V1_1.1.0 will be officially released, is it in days, weeks or months from now?

If I understood right in the beta discussion that there already are updated beta versions after this BE65_V1_1.1.0 pre-release, is there an update to this pre-release somewhere if the official release date will be much later?

Does this 1.1.0 update include the more advanced updates that already are coming to BE65_V2 or will V1 updates come months later than V2 updates?

Upgraded today and all went well except for a warning of “Abnormal WAN port speed, please check your WAN port connection”.

I use the DECO in AP Mode only with a Unifi Max Router (Which shows a 2.5Gbe connection).

Testing via LAN Speed on my NAS (Connected via 10Gbe to my main network run), shows a wired speed of around 11,000Mbps but previously over WiFi it was consistently over 2200Mbps, since the firmware upgrade this has declined to around 1000Mbs on all WiFi devices. So it seems that the Deco ports are connected and negotiating at 2.5Gbps but internally the firmware is downgrading to 1Gb.

The switches show a 2.5Gbe connection has been negotiated and I am using good quality Cat 6A cables, (though this shouldn’t be an issue for short cable runs, as you can usually get 10Gbps via Cat5E.

Troubleshooting attempted
1. Reboot Deco = No change
2. Reboot switches and router = No change
3. Change cables = No change I suspect therefore that the issue is within the firmware

Methodology
Devices used iPad Pro M4, Samsung S25 Ultra, iPhone 16 Pro Max  
Devices connected to numerous networks to ensure it wasn't a WiFi issue 
1. MLO 
2. 6Ghz
3. Regular network 
The issue was observed on all networks 
Devices were sited with clear line of site to the main Deco at a distance of approx 4 Metres. 

No other issues were identified with this release of FW in my testing

Hi, I'm in exactly the same configurations as you and I had the same problems as you.

I had everything fixed thanks to support (level 3, with the developers) and they sent me a new beta firmware that fixed the slow WAN port problems.

For connection speed test problems, it also corrected the problems, but the internal tester of the deco application is a little capricious, I had to select a specific test server, and not left in the car, to have results at the maximum of 2.5 Gbs. Could you tell me what version of Build you have?

Deco is providing the only WiFi network. (Main WLAN + Iot = MLO + Guest networks) 

Applied new version of beta and warnings have disappeared. Lan speed results have increased to around 1.4Gbps (slightly lower than they previously were, but that could improve with further testing . Thank you for your help . I have sent the FW logs. 

Update, speeds have now increased to 2.3Gbps which is great.! 


I will submit logs.
