Bandwidth control / Menu is not present on Archer MR400
Bandwidth control / Menu is not present on Archer MR400

Hi,

 

I just bought an Archer MR400, mainly because I had read this article :

https://www.tp-link.com/cz/faq-1658.html

 

My goal is to limit the bandwidth of the guest network.

 

Unfortunately, the "Bandwidth control" menu is not present on the tp-link admin panel. It has been replaced by a QoS menu, which allows to priorize some streams, but that's not what I want. I want my guests being unable to consume more than 2 Mb/s, for example.

 

 

 

The article says it applies to Archer MR400( V1 V2 ) , Archer MR200( V2 V3 V4 ), so it should apply to my router. I'm very frustrated because I chose this router mainly for the bandwidth control feature, and can't use it. I have the last firmware.

 

Do you know how to enable bandwidth control menu ? Or which similar router should I buy to benefit of this feature ?

 

Thanks for your help !

 

 

Firmware Version: 1.3.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 180621 Rel.66827n

Hardware Version: Archer MR400 v2 00000001

Hi,

 

MR400 V2 doesn't support bandwidth control. The information in the article is not all accurate. It will corrected soon.

Been caught out by same trick. Turns out the MR600 also does not have a bandwidth limiter even though this is one of the most important things I need from my router. But frustrating as older and cheaper models have it.

@ifup 

I am in the same boat unfortunately, and TP-Link seems to ignore the issue.

 

see also https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/229354?replyId=497016

 

Please contribute further to this issue, as it might get TP-Link to at least explain their strange QoS mechanism to us, so we can at least implement a workaround.
