Model: Archer VR600  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.5.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 220518 Rel.43816n

hi
i have archer vr600 v3
firmware: 1.5.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 220518 Rel.43816n
hardware: archer vr600 v3 00000000

there is no bandwidth control option in my modem settings
i see there is a new firmware 1.7.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 240929 Rel.31907n

does this new update add bandwidth control or not?
i only want to update if that option exists

also is it safe to update?
what are the chances of something going wrong and breaking the modem?
i never did a firmware update before so i am a bit scared

if the update does not add bandwidth control, what are the cheap/budget alternatives to control internet usage?
i want to limit my kids, they are always streaming and watching 4K netflix and it slows down the internet for everyone

You should update the FW at least for the improved security, since your current FW version is 3 years old.

Here's what the latest release includes:

Improvements and Bug Fixes:
1. Supported OpenVPN Client feature.
2. Enhanced product security.
3. Fixed some other bugs.

@terziyski

i appreciate it, shame bandwidth control isn’t in newer versions, QOS doesn’t really do what i need..
