I believe heard it when I was testing it. I will open it up to check and will update accordingly in a few days.

Agreed. Thanks for the input. I’ll make sure I check on this going forward.

According to TP-Link official staff some models might benefit in near future via firmware upcoming updates. Sadly currently NO… DoH isn’t there in the firmwares of BE900 nor BE800 and not even BE550.
In these crazy days that we are living with ISP’s wildly collecting and selling our data a vpn client and the DoH feature should be a must have for any router especially for those over 500$ price.

Good point. I assume it was there since it’s only a matter of firmware and DoH has been present in many Archer routers since Wi-Fi 5. Maybe DoH is turned on by default and the option to turn it off is no longer available. Most routers have DoH turned on by default these days.

If Tp-Link would introduce the DoH and maintain the current pricing it would surpass for sure Asus wifi 7 series in the sales field.

I have an update. Turns out the QoS was broken because of a bug. Turning on VLAN to bypass using the ISPs gateway was the problem. TP-Link tech support told me they will fix the issue and push it out in a future firmware update.

Thanks for sharing, Josh. I actually didn’t test this feature since I couldn’t considering my 10Gbps broadband. QoS can be tricky, by the way, more in this post.

It just makes all Wi-fi devices unable to reach the internet. I’ve contacted Tp-link about this and I’m not keeping my hopes up. The advice so far is to reboot the router, which does nothing. Clearly the QoS function is broken.

That’s disappointing to hear it doesn’t have Wireguard built-in.

I was planning on using the router as a VPN server. One less thing to manage and easier to setup than a do it myself prosumer style router, such as pfSense or OPNsense (which would completely negate the need for this router. Not to mention it’s ridiculously easy setting up and managing a VPN server on an Asus or GL inet router, along with all the other settings). I just want something easy and quick to setup. I understand I can get more out of a do it myself router/dedicated VPN server.
