Hi TP-Link Community,

I’ve been using the Deco BE85 for a while now, and while the Wi-Fi 7 hardware is absolutely beastly, the Deco App feels like it’s still stuck in the "entry-level" phase.

As a power user, my network isn't just a few phones and laptops. I’m running a Synology NAS with multiple Docker containers (Jellyfin for media, qBittorrent, etc.), along with AdGuard Home for network-wide filtering. When you have this many "active" services, the current management tools just don't cut it.

Here are 4 features that would make the Deco App actually "Pro":

1. Real-time Traffic Sorting (Who's the bandwidth hog?)

Currently, we can only sort by name or connection type. Please give us a "Sort by Current Speed" button. If my network slows down, I need to know immediately which device is eating the bandwidth without scrolling through 40+ devices.

2. Basic Traffic History (Stop paywalling basic data for Flagships)

I understand some advanced security features require a subscription, but seeing daily or weekly traffic usage for my own devices should be a standard feature for a flagship like the BE85. We need this to monitor NAS sync tasks or potential security leaks without having to pay extra for "HomeShield" every month.

3. A Dashboard that actually looks "Flagship"

The current UI is very clean, but it lacks information density. I’d love to see a modernized dashboard on the home screen:

• A Top 5 Bandwidth Consumers chart.

• Latency and Throughput graphs so we can see network health trends at a glance.

4. Device Grouping (Manage the Chaos)

For those of us with 30+ devices, a single list is a mess. Let us group devices into categories like "Servers," "IoT," or "Family Members." Seeing the total traffic usage per group would be a game-changer for home network management.

Conclusion:

The BE85 is an elite piece of hardware. It deserves software that matches its power. If TP-Link wants to lead the Wi-Fi 7 market, the app experience needs to level up for the prosumer community.

Please UPVOTE if you want to see these features in the next update!
