[Feature Request] Give us Pro Software for Pro Hardware! Advanced Monitoring for Deco BE85
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!
