Hello TP-Link Support Team and Community,

I am writing to report a specific firmware optimization issue and to request a Beta Firmware if one is available. I am using a Deco X50-5G (Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 20250922 Rel. 17577) and I am experiencing network crashes due to what appears to be a memory leak or poor NAT session management under extreme loads.

The Issue:

When I use the network for typical tasks, everything works flawlessly. However, when I push a heavy multi-connection load—specifically streaming via OBS Studio while simultaneously playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (which constantly downloads photogrammetry data)—the router eventually chokes. After about 3 hours of this continuous heavy load, the internet connection drops completely, forcing me to reboot the Deco.

Our Diagnosis & Proof:

We isolated the issue to the router's software struggling to manage thousands of concurrent micro-connections (NAT sessions), causing the RAM to fill up and crash the connection.

To prove this, I routed all my PC's traffic through a VPN (Cloudflare WARP). By tunneling everything into a single secure connection, the Deco only had to manage one active session instead of thousands. With the VPN ON, the router handled a 6-hour continuous stream flawlessly, with CPU Load resting at 14% and Memory Usage perfectly stable at 42%.

The Request:

1.Since the hardware is clearly capable and the issue is strictly related to how the firmware handles massive NAT session tables / memory allocation, is there a Beta Firmware available for the X50-5G that optimizes this specific issue?

2. Just to be safe, if a Beta is provided and it doesn't work well for my setup, can I easily downgrade back to the current official firmware using the Web UI?

Thank you in advance for your time and support!
