Hi @David-TP 

Can you share SoC / CPU / RAM / chipset datails for that device

  @David-TP 

Hi

i am just IT guy - like HW details and Numbers  ;)  Such information are public for GL-inet, Asus and others. Just want to compare which device has better specs before I spend a few hundred euro.

The M8550 is very promising device but I am afraid about the overheat issue reporter by a few users here and on Amazon.

Greetings Everyone

And a very good day to you all

I hope you are all safe and doing very well

May I please kindly be permitted to ask a question

Where did you purchase your TP-Link M8550 5G Router From ?

Hope to hear from you soon

Thank you very much for your time, help, patience and kind understanding

Kind Regards as Always

For my VPN problems:

 

Today I got an mail from support. Long story short: site-to-site VPNs are not supported by the M8550.

 

The setting of "allowed IPs" and "NAT" in the client configuration are ignored and all traffic is NATed and pushed through the tunnel. 

 

For my heat problem:

 

Also got some mails from support. It seems that the display backlight is not turned off in all situations. If you remove the battery and power the device by USB only, backlight stays on all the time. If running on battery, backlight gets switched off if screensaver kicks in and the device stays at room temperature.

 

I hope this gets fixed in an upcoming firmware.

I finally got mine -  EU 1.0 Version delivered from Czech Republic market. 
Device upgraded to Build 1.2.0 3.0.0 v60d8.0 Build 250704 Rel.43042n

On the battery power only,  I noticed backlight on in night - it is not on the same level as when screen is activated , but noticeable and for sure, it is not fully disabled when compare to device in off state ( I took a picture with 2seconds exposure) .

 

Probably its not increasing heat but drains battery.
My device is getting quite warm - sometimes hot - then I also noticed, the charging battery is not going forward ( but status is still showing charging state) but thankfully I am not faced the overheat prompt yet.
