Hi, thanks for the update.
It is suggested to refer to this link:https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/850998?replyId=1646064
There isn't enough bandwidth for 160MHz during channels 149-161.
As for channels 100-128, they are often shared with government and military weather radar systems, which might be restricted by Brazil ANATEL. If you're interested, it is recommended to check with the local technical support team:https://www.tp-link.com/br/support/contact-technical-support/#Hotline-Support
Best regards.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
Have you run a speed test on the controller device itself?
After viewing the troubleshooting history with the previous users, it turns out the speed on the device is limited, but the real-time speed rate on the Deco App is still showing a high speed, which might make users think the speed limit is not working as expected:

Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

Hi, it should be channels 36-64 for 160MHz. I see it applies to both Brazil and Bangladesh.
Best regards.

What determines which channels are best for which country? Because I am not located in either of those.

@David-TP I was about to return my X55 units but came across this beta FW, tried it and it may have resolved the issues I was having with my 60+ IOT devices (HUE, Kasa (switches, plugs and led strips), Meross, SmartLife etc) from dropping on and off the network. My Kasa devices were the worst and most unreliable with the X55's.
I had setup an IOT network, disabled Beamforming, Fast Roaming, set DHCP reservation for all IOT devices, turned off per IP Mesh Technology and set connection preferences. This morning I even removed the hardwired back haul X55 to see if this would help.None of the changes helped stabilize so i was looking for an alternate router this morning.
With the new FW I was able to select 20Mhz for my 2.4Ghz network and things look a lot better, early days but warranted feedback.
Would like to see an option for DHCP lease renewal duration added in a future firmware update.
Regarding Connection Preference settings, these did not appear to stick with the v.1.2.1 FW, have not tried with V1.3.1 but wanted to raise awareness.

[BUG ALERT] About DOH/DOT on new firmware version. [BUG ALERT]
DNS Adguard (one of the top 5 mots popular DOH/DOT server) have a problem with new doh/dot x50 deco function:
The DOT is working very well: with the personalize address for paid users. A example of address syntax of tls (DOT):
xxxxxxxxx.d. adguard-dns. com [PERFECT AND WORKING IN DECO x50]
*xxxxxxxx = unique id
The problem is DOH (dns over https), the personalize address for paid users, use the syntax bellow:
d.adguard-dns. com/dns-query/xxxxxxx [DECO X50 SHOWS INVALID ADDRESS]
*xxxxxxxx = unique id
I suspect the problem occur because the caracter "/" after main domain.
Thanks, beside this bug, the new firmware is running very well.
