Wireless QOS/Bandwidth Control - Sucks on AX10 and AX50 (new routers)
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.

@Kevin_Z How long time we still have to wait TP-Link?? First of all, QoS doesn't work fine, really bad to be honestly.
Bandwithcontrol is a BASIC resource, i had to buy some routers for my work and surely i can't buy from you, because don't even have BASIC resources.
I still can't believe that i'm saying it for a big company like you. If you don't know how to write firmwares, please contact the DD-WRT group that make amazing firmwares with lot of resources and stable. Unfortunatelly they donn't created a firmware for AX series still.
Tp-Link, me and a lot of people want to know, WHEN you will upgrade the firmwares for AX series with bandwithcontrol?
Say us a date, and make it happen! Stop loosing consumers.

Good Morning
I bought a 2 AX 50 to replace my two old routers
One of them was the WDR4300 ( have option of bandwithcontrol)
And in this new routers we have no option of bandwithcontrol
How is it possible?
When is this option implemented on the AX50?
For the price of these routers is unacceptable don´t have this option

Hi, the Archer AX50, as well as other AX models, does not support bandwidth control (limit bandwidth per device), while it supports QoS, you can refer to the below instructions to get the configuration guidance:
https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2693/
We have feedback to the related department, and the bandwidth control feature will be available on the wireless routers in the future firmware update, but we cannot provide you an ETA, we cannot know which model will have it at the moment.
You are suggested to pay attention to the official website, or the new firmware notifications on your router web GUI for any new firmware updates.
If this functionality has determined the choice of equipment, you can return the router to the place of purchase as not as described.

@Stanley3 I have an old Archer C7 1750 (old Tplink logo) and it does have bandwidth control by IP Range. Only I have to do is set IP range and maximum upload/download. And not only one, but it has 5 or 6 entries, which makes bandwidth control/distribution much easier. What they did on AX series ??
