Hello

I want to add a PiHole to my network but have limited control over my ISP's fibre router so I have bought an Archer C50 to put behind it that I can configure as I wish. My problem is that this drops the internet speed drastically. I have just done a test using 2 PCs, the one connected to the ISP box is getting 550 Mb/s, a 2nd PC connected to the C50 is getting 90 Mb/s.   Whist 90 Mb/s is good, I'd like to improve the speed if I can. Does anyone have any suggestions for configuration changes I could make?   

Thanks

Steve

Thanks for reaching out to us. 

The Ethernet ports of Archer C50 are 100Mbps ports. That's the reason why you can't get over 100Mbps speed from C50. 

You can check this info from device specification

If you want to get higher speed, it is suggested to consider router which supports Gigabit ports. You can check them here
