Model: Deco XE75  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.15

Hello I just purchased the Tp Link AXE5400 Wifi 6E mesh 2 pack system. Upon getting it setup I noticed there is a flaw. I use T-Mobile 5G Home Internet which requires an MTU of 1420. It would appear there is no way for me to change this from the default MTU of 1500. Does anyone know of a workaround to resolve this? Otherwise I am going to return it and purchase a different brand.

Update:

Hi, there is already a plan to support  changing MTU on Deco and you could vote to add more support:MTU size settings

And The latest firmware for Deco X50/Deco X55 starts supporting customizing MTU size.

Early Release VPN/Static Route/MTU Firmware for Deco X50/X55

For other models, It might still need some time.

Best regards.

As I stated in my original post my internet service provider uses an MTU of 1420. This is why I want to change it. When I use the deco mesh system I get really high pings. When I only use the ISPs modems wifi I do not get high pings. They told me I need to change the MTU to 1420 to mitigate this if I choose to use my own router. 
 

I feel failed by TP Link. I used to love this brand. It's sad to see features being stripped away altogether and others now requiring a subscription for something that should just be part of a 300.00 + router. 
 

When is this firmware update coming because I've already ordered a Dynalink mesh system and plan on returning this Deco system.
