Model: Archer C20

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 2.0.0 Build 20160726 Rel. 41918(EU)

The router shows a speed a bit below 100Mbps through Wi-Fi 5G. Points to account for:

ISP: 300Mbps

Ethernet connection between TP-LINK Router & ISP ONT: LAN6 (verified connecting various devices directly by cable, getting full 300Mbps).

Did a full factory reset on the router, same speed problem. Checked every WLAN setting inside the ruter, the official specifications sheet and other forum threads and this device should be able to get up to 433Mbps through Wi-Fi 5G, but not on my case.

Hi,

I am afraid you missed one important line in the specification sheet of the Archer C20: "Ethernet Ports: 4 10/100Mbps LAN Ports & 1 10/100Mbps WAN Port"

If a router connects to the Internet via the wired WAN port, then what you can get out of the Wi-Fi is still being limited by what goes into the WAN port.
