Tp-link Archer AX55 problem with speed on Wireguard VPN (on PPPoE + VLAN tagging)

Hello,
I bought Tp-link Archer AX55 for Network Provider using PPPoE and VLAN Tagging (IPTV).
I configured VPN Server for Wireguard and I have problem with network stability.
At the beginning of file downloads or speedtest, the download speed is high and after a few seconds drops to 0.00 Mbps.
There is no problem with OpenVPN.
Additionally, I bought a second identical router to exclude a problem with specific software and unfortunately the problem occurs there too.
I did an experiment on another connection (regular DHCP instead of PPPoE + VLAN) and Wireguard works correctly.
So my suspicion is a Wireguard error with the PPPoE + VLAN connection (tagging).
I also did an experiment to exclude the problem of my connection - I set up Wireguard Server on my laptop, forwarded the port on the router to my laptop, connected from another device and from a different network and the speed is still stable.
Curl:
Speedtest (beginning)
Speedtest (after few seconds)
MTU on router is 1492 (max allowed value).
MTU on Wireguard client I tried adjust from 500 to 1492 (I wrote script to test CURL with MTU value) and for everywhere there is the same problem...

Hello @Mdomarcos ,
Welcome to our community.
If the region version of your router is US version, it is recommended that you update the firmware to
The 1.4.1 is applied for Archer AX55(EU) 1.0.
Best Regards.
