@Sulooo Same here, same firmware/version, no AI QoS available yet

As far as I understand, there are two “versions” of the firmware: one for the US and one for the rest of the world (more or less).
The US version is now on 1.2.x and includes AI-based QoS, while the rest is on 1.3.x, which doesn’t have AI-based QoS yet.
Why there’s this difference is something only TP-Link knows (hopefully! 😂)

Yes, make no mistake: this is a TP-Link problem. I hope they get it together. Community management should be bringing this up to their superiors.

@Kevin_Z Are any of you using version 1.2.5 experiencing network disconnections while using your router? Every 1-2 days, all network connections drop, and to resolve this, I have to power cycle the router.

@Pro-gamer I also use the Archer GE800 with the same firmware version, and in my case I don’t have any speed issues. The router is Wi-Fi 7 capable, so the actual performance strongly depends on which band you are connected to (2.4GHz / 5GHz / 6GHz) and also the Wi-Fi standard your client device supports.
Make sure that OFDMA and MU-MIMO are enabled in the wireless settings, as these features help with stability and throughput, especially when multiple devices are connected.
If possible, please also share on which band you are testing and with which client device, so the community can better help

@Vendex have 2 tests 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 OFDMA and MU-MIMO, which I always have on. My device has WiFi 7. After I updated 1.3.1, my speed is not stable. I always get different results. Restart the router, then the speed test is good. After a few minutes it drops.

@Pro-gamer speedtest 1.3.1

@Pro-gamer I saw your screenshots and yes you are testing with very high internet speeds. On firmware 1.2.1 you had around 3288/3164 Mbps and on 1.3.1 it shows about 2794/2631 Mbps. That is still excellent performance but I understand you notice the drop.
In my case with the GE800 on 1.3.1 I don’t experience speed degradation and my connection is stable. My internet line is slower so I cannot compare directly at multi-gig speeds.
Since you are testing on a phone keep in mind that Wi-Fi tests are very sensitive to background traffic interference or even other devices being active at the same time. At these speeds even small factors can make a visible difference.
If you see the drop consistently it may help to try a factory reset after the update and also test on different bands or with another client device like a Wi-Fi 7 laptop to rule out phone limitations.
So far it looks like the firmware itself can work normally but maybe the difference shows only under very high bandwidth scenarios
