@Momcho thanks for your precisions but unfortunately, it does not help me to know what type of value to put for guest network bandwidth limits which can be set with version 1.6.0.

@Nardol hi, In my case I can set speed and time limits to the guest networks through the Deco app, do you have the app latest version?
(In the images you see the VLAN ID, but it's because two Decos are behind a switch)

@eduardoRoth great, one more thing that M5 has, but no other high-end Deco
@TP-Link if you can support only M5, sell only M5...

@eduardoRoth I have the last version and I have these setings.
But I don't understand the unit of the specified limits.
If it is, for example MB/s or Mb/s, the nuance is very important. Also if it is in kilo or mega.
It can change everything ;) or percentage :)
Thanks.

After update to a last beta https://static.tp-link.com/upload/beta/2022/202202/20220225/Deco_M5_1.6.0_20220214.zip I got a lot of connection issues, CheckPoint VPN and Microsoft Azure connection problems, etc . Deco reboot and reset + new configuration - nothing worked.
Only rollback to a previous beta firmware fixed my problems.

I'm having the same issue too. Also, I'm a developer and I use command line programs that download external packages, and it also fail to download them.
I already sent the logs to TP-Link through the app, hopefully they'll fix this fast.
