What should the speed be?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
When I connect my PC to the modem (wired, Cat. 6E) I get up to 700 Mbps downstream; when I connect the PC to the router and then the router to the modem (both wired, Cat. 6E)), I get up to 190 Mbps. The upload speed remains the same in both cases (about 100 Mbps).
I tried the advice from https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2170/ but the change is around 10 Mbps slower with QoS disabled.
Is that speed drop to be expected or is there a problem?
Thank you
Hi @Wayne-TP
I bought the Archer in September 2020 but ran the speed test just last week. Until last week I had a modem/router with 4 ports, so I had my PC connected to the modem and my smartphone to the Archer (the modem/router had no wi-fi). Since my internet use on the smartphone is pretty light I didn't run a speed test when I installed the Archer. Last week the modem/router failed, and asked the telephone company to replace it. They sent just a modem, so I had to connect my PC to the Archer. That's when I noticed the speed issue.
I tried several things, and one of them was activating the QoS. I see a little improvement when it's on.
And QoS activated
Thank you!
