TP-Link Archer BE800 - Enabling 2.5G Mode

To enable 2.5G (HiSGMII PHY) on your TP-Link Archer BE800, follow these steps:

1. Update Debug Firmware:

   • Ensure you have the latest debug-enabled firmware installed. Refer to the firmware repository for the appropriate version.

2. Reboot:

   • Reboot your router to apply the updated firmware.

3. Login to WebGUI:

   • Access the router's Web Graphical User Interface (WebGUI) by navigating to http://192.168.0.1.

4. Access Debug Page:

   • Navigate to http://192.168.0.1/webpages/debug.html within the WebGUI.

5. Enter Commands:

   • Enter the following commands to enable 2.5G (HiSGMII PHY):

     combo_debug stop
     combo_debug set plus
     combo_debug ipg_set combo10g 1_192bit
     

   • To revert back to 1Gbps, use the following command:

     combo_debug ipg_set combo10g 1
     

Note:

• The 2.5G mode activation is not persistent across power loss or router reboots. You will need to re-enter the commands after each occurrence.
• Exercise caution when using debug features and refer to the router's documentation for additional guidance on the commands and their implications.
