Wireless QOS/Bandwidth Control - Sucks on AX10 and AX50 (new routers)
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Problem occurs on any router from the AX series.
You can't set guest bandwidth limits or for a specific device, these should not as of yet be used on any more complex network (such as a business) until TP-Link (an awesome company) resolves these issues.
The idea is as follows, if you want to limit the bandwitdh for your guest wireless network for instance or a specific router, you will be unable.
Currently you can only set QOS control which enables you to set the limit on your WHOLE router/network which is useless if you have for instance a company computer that requires 100/100 mbps and you to limit the network for 2/2mbps for guests. Someone might say there is packet prioritizing, this feature is mostly useless and will not provide true bandwidth control even if it worked (but it doesnt).
Summary -
The routers dont have bandwidth control (they used to but they have removed it), QOS doesn't work and should be reverted. This issue should take priority over all others as many, many customers have this need, even in a simple home setting when you don't want your network lagging because a child is live-streaming a game or watching netflix.

Limiting the guest network is a mandatory feature, which is available in low-end devices. Please make this feature available in upcoming updates on this device (AX10).

For 10 years I've been buying tplink specifically for this purpose. They have the only router with bandwidth control even on the cheap ones and I love them since.
Yesterday I changed my 5 year old router and bought the expensive one, the box even says bandwidth management so I thought it will be fine.
TO my dismay, there's no way to individually control each device's bandwidth, instead it has this new QoS option which is very useless. I guess this is the time to switch brand. I'm looking at Tenda at the moment and they have it all at almost same price.

Infelizmente o recurso de Qos deste roteador não funciona. Facilmente um dispositivo da rede consegue consumir toda a largura de banda causando uma experiência nada boa para os demais usuários, mesmo se estiver dando prioridade para determinado dispositivo. É necessário que o roteador permite o controle de largura de banda por dispositivo ou intervalo de IP. Não entendo porque tiraram isso.

Hi,
Sorry to tell you that we only provide English Service for Global users. If you are requiring the Bandwidth feature on the AX50, as we replied earlier that this had been forwarded to the related department, they will evaluate if we can add it back on the router, thanks for your attention again.
Have a good day.

@OsSeMeR eles não tem nenhuma previsão. Acompanho esse tópico desde setembro/2020 e a resposta é sempre a mesma, que encaminharam pro setor responsável.
Translation: they don't have any date. I follow this topic since September/2020 and the answer is always the same: they forwarded the request for the related department.

Hello OP and TP-Link PR people!
I just set up my AX1800 (AX20) router and much to my surprise could not add specific device + bandwidth to bandwidth control in QoS.
My 5 year old C2 AC750 router have this!
Never would have thought that a next gen "multiple device specialist" AX router do not have the function to effectively control those multiple devices. It is literally the most important function if multiple (more than 1) devices share network.
Please implement the old bandwidth control in the ax routers asap OR tell us you won't do it so i can send back my device.
Thanks.

Hello, thank you both again for the suggestions or opinions, we do have the plan to add the Bandwidth Control feature on the Wi-Fi routers in the near future, while we are unable to provide you an ETA, as this will be on a rolling basis for different models. We hope you are patient with this and keep an eye on the official website for any future firmware update.
Have a nice day.

@Kevin_Z please make it happen fast. I also need the Qos to limit bandwith of certain device or network. Very disappointing when i got ax50 router this feature is not there.
