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.

You need to resolve the QOS issues on these routers. I have just purchased the AX50 and clearly QoS on firmware 1.0.9 is completely broken. I am in the UK on a BT FTTC connection and typically get 37Mbps/6Mbps so pretty slow however as soon as I select anything other than standard in QOS settings I get around 4Mbps/6Mbps. I moved from an ASUs router where QoS worked entirely as expected I.e. traffic was prioritised when needed but did not impact max download speeds when there was no real load on the network as QoS should. Now interestingly both ASUs and TP-Link use Trendmicro as an underlying component so clearly something is very wrong in the TP-Link implementation.
This needs to be fixed as a matter of urgency as currently you are selling the device under false advertising as QoS does not work and your official advice appears to be turn it off (set to standard mode) if you want to achieve your ISPs full bandwidth.
Given the current pandemic QoS is a vital feature for those of us who work from home with children to ensure we can work effectively. Looking at the forum posts this issue has been known about for many months!

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.
Hi @Kevin_Z,
Recently I bought an Archer AX50 in order to replace my old TP-link router but, as other people already said, my surprise was when I notice that the Bandwidth control is gone!
In your post (2020-12-21), you said that in a near future this functionality will be added. But what means "near future" for you? 1 month? 3 months? 1 year?
Please, can you or one of your support colleagues answer the question? This is an important/essential functionality for me and if it is not enabled in a really near future I will return the product.
Thanks.

Any ETA on when this feature will be enabled? A $400 router should have this basic feature. If it's not coming in next release, I am going to return this router and would encorage everyone who is using this router for WFH. Doesn't offer basic feature that all other routers do. It's been over a year we are asking for this.

Still no bandwidth control for AX10? Older models have this function and is a MUST for every router! Better have this function added soon or you will definitely lose lots of customers. This is lazy programming.

Custo benefício zero este roteador. QOS não funciona. Definir a largura de banda por estação é necessário. Realmente a TP-Link já foi melhor.

I also need that bandwidth limiter settings. Qos is useless

@Kevin_Z This is standard functionality, it is almost everywhere. And he must be in the entire line of AX.
