ER605 v1.0 Dowload/Upload speeds more than 1/2 the speed I pay for
2023-03-08 02:05:35
Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20220512 Rel.76748

I have a ER605 v1.0 on Firmware 1.2.1 Build 20220512 Rel.76748 being managed by a OC200 1.0 with Firmware 1.21.7 Build 20221206 Rel.58608.  I recently upgrade from a 500mbps cable internet to a 2gbps up/down fiber internet.  When. I was on the 500mbps plan, I would get speeds on my ER605 around 400mbps.  I just assumed that I was not getting the full 500mbps I was paying the cable company for.  When I upgraded to the 2gbps fiber plan, my download speed has stayed the same of around 400mbps, and the upload speed wne up to about 200mbps.  I know with the ER605, I can only max out at 1000mbps, so I am not expecting the 2gbps speed I am paying for, but I would expect the download and upload speed to be right around 1000mbps and not hovering around 400mbps.  I have not made much changes to my ER605 since taking it out of the box.  Most settings are defaults.  I do have bandwidth control turned off.  I can not figure out why the speed is so low on the router.  Any suggestion on what I can do to get the speed I should be getting?

  @jakslax I get the full 940/940 Mbps using the ER605v1 on the same firmware as you.

 

What device are you running the test from and are you wired directly to the router instead of wifi? If you are already wired in, I have seen ethernet drivers bottleneck max speed (Realtek) so you could try updating that to latest version.

  @dsj I am running the speed test from one of my Linux boxes that is directly wired into the router.

Hi  @jakslax 

 

Did you setup Access Control?

You may try resetting the router and keep it in standalone default mode. Then run the speed test again. This test will prevent any influence from the controller's current settings. 

No worry the configurations. All settings are still saved on your controller. You just need to re-adopt the router on the Controller later.

  @Hank21 Nothing set up in ACL.  So I guess my next step is to do a reset on it and keep it off of my controller and see what happens.
