Enormous Bufferbloat problems for Archer BE230 BE3600
I get enormous Bufferbloat when I enable QoS on the router.
This is without QoS:

This is with Qos:

Hello @Serbian_Fantom ,
Regarding this unexpected behavior of the Archer BE230 V1/V1.20, we have released a beta firmware. Referring to What Can I Do If QoS Enabled Causes Buffer Bloat and High Latency on an Archer BE230 After a Firmware Update?
Please try the beta firmware and let me know if it can help.

Hello @Serbian_Fantom, thank you for posting in the TP-Link community.
QoS prioritizes network traffic to ensure optimal performance for critical applications. It identifies and classifies traffic types (e.g., video streaming, gaming, web browsing) based on protocols, ports, or IP addresses, and assigns priority levels to each type. For example, video streaming might be given higher priority over general web browsing.
When checking for bufferbloat with third-party software, it's possible that low-priority traffic or data is being analyzed by the software when QoS is enabled on the router. This can lead to noticeable differences in performance when QoS is enabled versus disabled.
Aside from bufferbloat, it seems the Download/Upload is also affected after enabling QoS on the BE230. Have you tested the speed using speedtest.com with QoS disabled and enabled?
BTW, can you share the screenshots of the QoS settings on the BE230?

I was having the similar issues. I found if you turn off QoS and limit the bandwidth for your device to under 100Mbps it removes the bufferbloat. It's not ideal if you have gigabit speeds but there's zero latency.
