Hello Guys,
I have 100 Mbps Ethernet internet facility in my home. So, I have recently bought TL-WR841N 300 Mbps WIFI router to convert Ethernet internet into WIFI. All setup is done as default.
Then, connected my Laptop (Macbook Pro - OS Mojave) to the WIFI and tested the internet speed with OKLA speedtest and fast.com, on multiple tests, speed came up around 86 Mbps which is good, I am happy.
Then, I connected my mobile (OnePlus 6 - Android Pie) to the WIFI and tested the internet speed, results are coming up around 45 Mbps only. I checked, there was no background apps eating the speed. Tried many times, results keep on coming around 45 Mbps only.
Can you kindly help/guide in resolving this issue. Let me know if you need any particular details.
Wireless 2.4GHz
Operation Mode:Router
Wireless Radio:Enabled
Name(SSID):depi-home
Mode:11bgn mixed
Channel:Auto(Channel 10)
Channel Width:Auto
MAC Address:xxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you.

Hi Roni,
Got another mobile for testing - Moto X Play.
With TP-LINK router:
Laptop: 86 Mbps
Oneplus mobile: 45 Mbps
Moto mobile: 46 Mbps
With Mac as hotspot:
Laptop: 92 Mbps (ethernet is directly connected)
Oneplus mobile: 80 Mbps
Moto mobile: 82 Mbps
During all these tests, only one device is connected to WIFI at an instant.

Hi Roni,
Yes, checked the firmware at 1st phase of debugging, its already up-to-date 😅 The router is new. I have 7 days left to return it as per return policy, before that either I need to figure it out or return it. 😵

Hi,
FYI, compared to laptop, the wireless chipset of the mobile phone is not strong enough; usually the maximum wireless link speed is 72Mbps, which will affect the actual wireless speed, almost 60% of it.
So back to your case, please check the wireless link speed on your mobile phone.
Besides, you can connect your laptop to the wifi to do a comparison anslysis.
How to check the wireless link speed, please refer to : https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2265/
Note: Right click on wifi or wireless connection, not the local area connection or the ethernet connection.
May it help and have a nice day.

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for replying.
As you requested, here's the link speed details
When connected to TPLINK router:
Mac - 195 Mbit/s
Oneplus - 72 Mbps
Moto - 72 Mbps
When Oneplus / Moto is connected to Mac hotspot wifi - 144 Mbps
When Oneplus / Moto is connected to my office wifi - 866mbps
I don't think that this is related to mobile chipset, its fine, I think. Kindly provide your in-sight or any troubleshooting idea if any.
Thank you.
