Model: XX530v   Archer AX53  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: XX530v(IN)_v1.8_0.7.0_3.0.0 Build 250606

Please bring back the Classic Bandwidth Control options, like our old TP Link Devices.

QOS has a very different use case scenario,
While Bandwidth Control (per device/ip range based),
used to be very essential for people with Low FUP Data Capped Internet.

Not just
TP LINK xx530v,
also
TP Link AX53 v1,
Mercusys MR50G v1,
Mercusys MR60X v2,

All of them lacks the feature, all are currently on latest firmware available, yet lacks  a basic bandwidth control,
That even ages old TP Link Routers used to have.

Bandwidth Control should be a basic feature that should be rolled out for all TP Link Routers globally,
like several other brands (Tenda, Asus, etc),
Even the cheapest TP Link Products have it,
Yet for some odd reason,
Its missing from the mid range popular devices of TP Link.

Please enable bandwidth control both upload and download per device in xx530v since main reason of buying it was QoS feature which also does not work.

  @TSM23 My xx530v also doesn't have QoS by device or granular bandwidth control per device. It has hardware QoS. Only lets to control upload bandwidth per device on paper. However, in practice even that does not work.I have been trying to make QoS work for a long time but it does not work. (I am Ipv4 only and can't find the NAT boost page) QoS and bandwidth control is not only important for limited data plans but also important for reducing bufferbloat to achieve better latency consistently leading to a better internet experience overall, especially important for cloud gaming. SQM routers are costly and a very recent experimental technology. SQM routers are also only available in the USA. So QoS/Bandwidth control is the most reasonable way to reduce bufferbloat rn. Bought 3rd party ISP router from TPlink to replace extremely restricted JIoRouter only to get restricted by TPlink again.
