Thank you very much for your feedback.

The constant bandwidth of the 3/ 4G router due to the cell tower is truly a problem and has not been taken into consideration.

Maybe you could use the maximum speed you had even got from the modem, or tested on the smartphone to see how much internet bandwidth is;

 

Later we would also like to report your feedback to our senior engineers for further evaluation.

Thank you very much for your good ideas.

If you have any other better ideas, please feel free to post it here;

Thanks a lot!

> Maybe you could use the maximum speed you had even got from the modem, or tested on the smartphone to see how much internet bandwidth is; This is not really a resolution for this issue. I can't sit around measuring and adjust bandwidth in the QoS menu all day. The fix for this will be to implement QoS in a bit more sane way than how you have implemented it right now.

Any update from TP-LINK on this?
In reality the router does not have any QoS or congestion management only a sloppy implementation of caps based on 'real' speed which you cannot define with any accuracy on LTE. This is a pity as this is a super basic feature found on entry level products with half the cost. Other than that the router performs very well. I hope TP-LINK addresses this fast with a firmware upgrade.

 

Thanks

It's not just broken, it actually cripples the router by disabling NAT acceleration. I tried using QoS to get SIP working acceptably, it went from barely usable to completely unusable, however much bandwidth I reserved for SIP.

 

I think this POS router is too underpowered to do everything it claims. Disabling the LTE modem dragged SIP over the line to mostly usable. That's despite all the extra delays & complication feeding it from a phone USB tethered to a PC adds.

 

It's underspecced - a trash bin router pretending to be a midrange device. Sold under false pretences.
