@Solla-topee I am using a TP-Link Deco X50

Firmware Version: 1.8.2 Build 20260421 Rel 45251

Specified Connection

If I manually select 2.4GHz or 5GHz, it does not work now.

This feature worked in the previous version.

Please work on this issue.

Also, even though many mobile devices support 2×2 MIMO, they still connect as 1×1 MIMO.

Please check this issue as well.

Feature Request

Please add a Monthly Traffic Usage option.

Speed Limit Issue

Firmware speed limit does not work properly.

I am listing where the speed limits do not work properly:

Facebook

YouTube

Play Store

Online watch / FTP movie services

The speed limits do not work on these platforms.

I will attach a screenshot below.

I use device MAC selection, and I also use Network Access Control.

Hi @Abedur, this was provided to me specifically by TP-Link support for diagnosing a specific wanv6 IPv6 issue. You would need to contact them if you require it.

I've just tried changing the LED Control from Set for All to Set Individually, to see if that makes a difference (although I shouldn't need to do this).

For now, changing the LED Control to 'Set Individually' has resolved the issue. Will try switching back to 'Set for All' once I am on a different firmware version.

@Solla-topee

I’m also checking Facebook, YouTube, and the Play Store. The speed limit is not working. I agree with Rakib brother as well — if those problems are fixed, everything will be okay.

I’m sending you a picture, please see how my baby is watching the mobile phone.

If the speed limit worked on Facebook and YouTube too, then my child would put the phone down. They would say the internet isn’t working, get upset, and then go to sleep. I hope you will look into this matter

@Solla-topee On TP-Link Deco X50, only 1×1 MIMO is supported.

Why doesn’t it support 2×2 MIMO?

I read the comments above and noticed that children often become addicted to mobile phones for long periods of time.

If the internet speed is limited, cartoons load slowly, and they tend to put the phone away. Please take this issue seriously.

If the speed limit feature works properly, it would be very helpful.

However, Facebook, YouTube, and the Play Store do not work properly with the speed limit feature.

I personally tested it myself.

Dear Solla-topee,

Dexo X50 hardware version 1.30

1.8.2 Build20260421 Rel 45251

I would like to inform you that the speed limit is not working properly on the 5 platforms listed below. I have already reported this issue by email before.

However, the speed limit works correctly on the following services:

Ookla Speed Test

Fast.com

GFiber Internet Speed Test

TikTok APK and many other websites and applications. I personally tested them myself.

The speed limit issue only happens on these 5 platforms:

1. Facebook

2. YouTube

3. Play Store

4. Imo APK

5. What'sapp APK

In my opinion, this firmware version is about 90% okay.

From a humanitarian point of view, I would like to say something, sir: Every family has children, and they spend a lot of time looking at mobile screens. We all know that excessive mobile usage can cause eye problems and other health issues.

Therefore, I kindly request you to make sure that the speed limit also works properly on these 5 platforms.

Please add traffic usage Monthly

Thank you.@Solla-topee.@Solla-topee

@Emon121 On 20 MHz all devices support 1x1 MIMO not 2x2 if you select 40 MHz then devices will use 2x2 MIMO.

Please & Thank You !! ❤️
