Hi,
I have been using the TP-Link AX11000 since March of last year, and I must say that I am very, very satisfied with its performance.
One glitch that I have observed, however, and one that carries over from firmware to firmware, is that the built-in speed test does not work properly. Namely, it reports download speeds of at maximum 600-700 Mbps, while any external speed test that I use on a hardwired computer gives correct speeds of 940 Mbps download and 60 Mbps upload, i.e. in-line with my internet plan.
My question is this: when does TP-Link plan to eliminate this error, for example by adding the option to choose different speed test servers?

I can confirm this. I am on the latest official firmware for Europe (1.2.3 Build 20210719 rel.14861(4555)) and I too get the message "Fail to test the speed. Please try again later."
My suspicion would be that the preferred server used by the router's built-in SpeedTest is down, however I would wait for @Kevin_Z to confirm.
Incidentally, even when the SpeedTest is working, I never get the correct speed, at best 600Mbps down/60 Mbps up, while my plan is 1000 (940) Mbps down/60 Mbps up. If I use an external speed test, the result is always correct.

@Maciej I have encountered the same issue following the last firmware upgrade. However, you can always manually perform the speed test from a browser at speedtest.net
It is a workaround, but one that works well. Since I have encountered no other issues with my router on the new firmware I am not overly concerned, but hope that they do get it resolved.

Since the speed test doesn't work (It also doesn't for me, I get "failed" messages), why not just remove it entirely from the network map page, or just hide it to make it less prominent and irritating?

Hello @LomaBuena @Monkey13 @Jay_Gee @Maciej @Sm93
This Ookla Speedtest issue has been addressed and fixed by Ookla, you can check and test the speed via the router web GUI or Tether app now.
Feel free to let us know if you're still experiencing an issue. Good day.
