I want to summarize the feedback from multiple users testing the 1.3.2 beta firmware on the Archer GE800. The beta is built directly on the official 1.3.1 version, so the main change should be the new AI QoS feature.
Here are the issues users are reporting:
1: 5 GHz Wi-Fi becomes unstable after the router has been running for some time
2: Devices disconnect and cannot reconnect until the router is rebooted
3: IPTV and streaming apps using 5 GHz drop randomly
4: Packet drops occur even at full signal strength
5: 2.4 GHz and 6 GHz bands remain stable while 5 GHz is affected
6: QoS does not reduce latency under load and does not prioritize gaming correctly yet
7: Bufferbloat and ping spikes appear during downloads or high usage
8: Tether App access sometimes causes Wi-Fi to drop or restart
9: Connected device list in Tether often fails to display, while the web UI works fine
Rolling back to 1.3.1 restores stability for those users, especially for 5 GHz, so the issues seem tied to the new beta changes, possibly within the updated QoS system or memory handling.
Useful information to include when reporting problems:
1: ISP connection type (PPPoE, DHCP, etc.)
2: Which band is affected (mostly 5 GHz according to feedback)
3: Type of apps showing issues (IPTV, cloud gaming, streaming, etc.)
4: Whether turning off AI QoS improves stability or latency
Оn my GE800 setup, 5 GHz has remained stable so far under the 1.3.2 beta, so it is possible that the issue does not affect all environments or configurations equally. This makes detailed feedback even more helpful for the developers.
AI QoS has good potential for gaming performance once fine-tuned. Thanks to TP-Link for sharing the beta and hopefully this collective feedback supports a smoother final release

@Vendex I hope they fix it but TP-Link is currently focused on WiFi 8, I don't think there will be WiFi 7 times, I don't understand why they focused on 8 without WiFi 7 working properly.

@Pro-gamer I understand the concern about TP-Link working on WiFi 8 technologies, but the existence of the 1.3.2 beta already shows that TP-Link is still actively improving the Archer GE800 and WiFi 7 products. A beta firmware normally means a stable version will follow once the issues are resolved.
Development in WiFi standards overlaps between generations, so progress on WiFi 8 does not mean WiFi 7 support has stopped. The GE800 is a flagship model, and TP-Link has a strong history of continuing updates for a long time after release.
The focus of this beta is to refine the new AI QoS feature. It needs tuning, and that is exactly what the testing phase is for.
By providing clear feedback, we help the developers improve the final version for everyone
