Model: Archer T4E  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hey Guys,
did i get a malfunctioning Archer T4E?

my internet is 100Mbps, and i have the latest driver version installed.

 

I am getting VERY low speeds when using the Archer T4E:

  • Using the T4E on 2.4hz i get ~25Mb/s (ping 9 and ~3ms to gateway)
  • Using the T4# on 5Ghz i get ~3Mb/s (ping 9 and ~4ms to gateway)
  • For benchmarking - Using an old TL-WN822n i get ~80Mb/s (ping 9 and ~3ms to gateway) (same exact location as the PCI-E antenna)

 

isn't the new + PCI-E model supposed to be much better than a 10y old usb adapter?

 

Signal also looks very nice on the PCI, better than the USB

@Q_Master 

 

What is the operating system of your computer? 

 

With your computer connected to the wifi, please click here to verify the wireless negotiation speed and send us a picture. 

 

Try to change another PCI-E slot to plug it. If possible, you can change another computer to do a comparison test.

 

Meanwhile, did you download the latest driver from the official website? 

 

Below is an instruction you can refer to to narrow down the issue.
