I don't think it's necessary to set the download speed higher than 1000Mbps since the maximum speed is limited to that.

 

If the QoS settings slow down the speed, it's suggested to turn it off. I found they suggest disabling it in several threads when one reports a slow speed issue, so I guess it does no good for the speed when enabling it.

it shouldn't be necessary, but when my internet speed was slower i could set my speed in qos slightly higher, it wouldn't mean i would get that speed but would mean i would get closer to my theoretical maximum... try it, do a speed test with qos off then turn it on and set it at 100% of your internet speed then try 108% and compare your results

The QOS on the AX55 is part of the homeshield pro subscription and so differs from the problems experienced by routers such as the AX50, AX6000 etc (as they use homecare)

 

Its strange you are getting faster uploads when QOS is switched on, is there only one device connected to the AX55 when performing this test. If not then it could be another device causing these strange results.

 

 

The ax6000 definitely seems to be more buggy for QoS than the ax55.

QoS isn't part of their subscription service, tho it is accessed through the tether app under homeshield/homecare.

But I solved the issue 100% by using QoS on a TL-SG105E, setting a limit on the upload only and turning off QoS on the routers....
now I get 930mbps down and 47.7mbps up.... the results I was after.

The ax6000 was a great improvement with wifi, but seeing the whole reason I bought the ax6000 was the 2.5g wan port that I was hoping had the performance throughput to handle 1gps internet, I unfortunately returned it.

hopefully tp-link can solve this issue for any other users with internet faster than 700mbps but severely capped uploads like we have in Australia.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I had an AX6000 a couple of days ago and switched back to my AX55 as the performance seemed terrible on the 6000.

 

I have a 1Gbps connection, and my devices would show that on a speed test with the 55. On the 6000 they were getting around 200-300Mbps and basically all the settings were the same (QOS set to standard and limits manually set to 95% of what my ISP provides) didn't have any luck setting higher or lower.

 

Put the AX55 back in and everything is fine again....really weird

it seems that with QoS you can't get full gigabit, but if you have an asymmetrical connection you need QoS to limit your upload so it doesn't crash to lower than whats there.

 

the ability to enable QoS on separate upstream/downstream traffic would help these routers alot, even if they give that to us temporarily while they sort out the performance issues, i would have kept the ax6000 otherwise...
