Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.13.5

I have 3 routers. Archer C5 and 2 Archer C6.

 

Archer C5 is the main router. Which is connected to 2 Archer C6 routers. Archer C5 has a network speed of 400 MBPS on a 5 GHZ network. and 200MBPS on a 2 GHZ network. Where as my access points are working at 100 MBPS at certain times because of my switch capacity is 100mbps. But in few cases, my network speed drops to 1 MBPS through these Archer C6 routers. is there any network config change i have to make?
My network speed is constant to Archer C5 router, and before i switch to Archer C6 routers also, my network speed was always constant. Only with Archer C6 network works at 100 MBPS or drops to 1 MBPS. How do i resolve this?

Hi, thanks for posting question on our community.

May I confirm your network topology is Archer C5--switch---2*Archer C6 and you set both C6 as AP mode?

Does the speed drops to 1 Mbps on both C6?

You may connect one of C6 to C5 directly via ethernet cable to confirm whether the speed access is stable.

Or when the speed drops down, please test the speed from the switch.

Even if i connect C6 router to C5 directly, I tried with both routers. Same issue is happening. Speed is dropping to 1 mbps sometimes, and sometimes its more than 150 MBPS. 
I want to highlight one more thing. At any time my upload rate is constantly at 100 to 150 mbps.

Check you C6s ethernet port negotiated speed when they are connected via switch and directly to C5:

 

 

When C6s connected via switch the ethernet ports should show 100mbps (in case your switch is only 100mbps capable).

When C6s connected directly to C5 the ethernet ports should show 1000mbps.

Double check your C6 configuration in AP mode - details (Case 1).
