  @DennisTT ,

Welcome to our community.

Have you bought the xx530v via a retailer?  Who is your ISP?

If you have the same question that XX530v is capped at 50 MB download, please try the suggestions of alb3530 as below:

 

In web UI, go to "Advanced" -> "GPON WAN", and edit the current WAN interface.

Go to the very bottom of the page and see if "Mac Clone" is active.

If it is, disable it, by choosing "Do not clone Mac Address".

 

I found many people online with that problem.

I did some tests, and my conclusion is if current WAN interface uses a MAC address that's NOT from Tp Link, download speeds will be limited to 50Mb/s.

What I did exactly:

Disabled Mac Clone, and connected to internet. Then I copied MAC address from WAN interface, available from Advanced -> Status page.

IF I clone this MAC address (by editing WAN interface), or if I increment the last character by 1, it connects normally, with full speed.

If I clone any other mac address (both from my original ONU, or a completely random value), downloads are limited to 50mb/s.

I don't know if it's a bug in firmware, or something that's been done on purpose to limit speed, but it's something that's happening exclusively on tp link devices.
