@TP-Link Thanks! a fix has been provided to me, I am testing and see if I confirm the fix.
Even if I still think TP-Link should have provided more than one beta to test for all users, I can notice there are fixes for issues and good support. Maybe developers should better take in account feedbacks from user and from support team. Everybody would loose less time if we did not have to send a sugestion or a bug twice :)

@TP-Link I'm also having the same issues about the antivirus, the monthly report and, most infuriating, the weird symbols for devices name. I already sent the system logs but, could I get the updated beta firmware too?
Thanks

@TP-Link I confirm the fix for antivirus. Same for the monthly report.

@Kingdaveontour1 because simple is not TP-Link, try by contacting support using the app. And check the option to send system logs.
They answer very quickly.
They should provide you a fix.

@TP-Link about bandwidth limit to guest network, what values should we specify? Is it percentage, KB/S Kb/s, MB/s, Mb/s or something else?
Maybe it is an accessibility issue even if I asked someone to read the interface but I don't read any unit or explanation of how to specify the limit so I don't really understand how it works.
If possible to explain it only with words no screenshots please :)
