Archer C5400 - Bandwidth Control

Hello.
I upgraded from TD-W9980 to Archer C5400 Router recently. TD-W9980 was too weak for ~7 devices we have in our home and so far Archer works well.
I want to limit some devices like smartphones and gaming consoles from completely ruining internet connection for all other devices because of software updates. Bandwidth control would be enough but I can't see it in Archer.
TD-W9980 had it from what I remember. I could set how much downstream or upstream bandwidth I want for certain IPs.
However Archer C5400 has no Bandwidth control from what I see in its simplified UI. I can only see "QoS" which does absolutely nothing. I can set priorities for devices but it does nothing(high pings and slow loading websites when gaming console is downloading an update). I just want to set a hard limit for certain devices and that's all.
Official Archer datasheet list Bandwidth management as one of its features: https://static.tp-link.com/Archer%20C5400%20Datasheet%202.0.pdf
So, the question is: where can I find this bandwidth management feature to set bandwidth limits for certain devices? Is there some kind of advanced configuration like it was in TD-W9980?
Firmware version is 1.2.2. Device is V2.
