Problems with unstable speed and connection

Model: Archer BE800  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.6 Build 20240808 rel.26673

Hello,

 

I've had the router for about a year. It has been working superb and with no issues. 

However, since the new firmware dropped and I updated the firmware, I'm having insability and speed drop issues with wifi, especially on my mobile devices. 

 

I have tried to factory reset, I have tried to restart. I have set the router to restart every night at 1:00 AM. But still the problems are there. I want to revert back to the previous firmware but don't know if this will solve the issue or not or is it even possible to downgrade a firmware or not. 

 

Please address this issue. 

Thank you.

There are some firmware upgrades that you can not go back to a previous version. The warning is in the information for the firmware update.

 

Most times there is a way to put in a previous version but varies a bit by some models. Best to contact support directly for the procedure and where to get the firmware.

 

In the past I have downloaded the firmware to my PC, disconnect from the internet, connect the router direct to a PC, and load the firmware. But that was 10 years or more ago and thinges do change.

Thank you for the help and recommendation. I think i must wait for the next update top drop. 

The problem especially is worse when you connect to the MLO network. I've tried to keep the 2.4 and 5 GHz AC ope and also the 6E. it seems more stable but still I have problem with instability.

  @Taftak If you want, give the beta firmware a try that they posted the other day.  It has MLO improvements and you can go back to the public build if you don't like it.  I am using it and has been working good for me.

Hi, Thank you for the recommendation. I will try the beta firmware. BTW one more question.... could the instability be related to the available bands to select in the 5GHz or 6GHz ? I remember once when I had an ASUS router I had a problem with my mobile devices (Specifically Apple iPhone and MacBook) that they didn't play nice with specific bands and I had to change those to get the most reliability.
