Slow Speed between PCs connected to the same router: Using RDP
Slow Speed between PCs connected to the same router: Using RDP

Region : Others

Model : TL-WDR4300

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 3.13.33 Build 130617 Rel.46239n

ISP : ICE (www.ice.co.cr)


Dear Sirs,

I am having the following problem, intermittently. I have the router configured with simple addresses (10.0.0.xx) since we are only 5 people in the office. All sat down close together without barriers (2-3 meters from each other). I have the router connected wiresly to 5 laptops using the 2.4 GHZ network, 3 cell phones connected to the 5GHz network, 5 other computers connected through LAN (using a gigabit switch) and 2 Network Disks through LAN. Also, our printer is wireless (HP OfficeJetPro 8600)

We have one computer where we need to enter remotely using RDP (Remote Desktop Connection). The computer being used as a host (where we connect) has 16 GB of ram and a quadcore processor, so no issue here on capacity.

What we are experiencing is intermittent disconnect of the RDP when we are all at the office and perhaps are transfering files to the disks or doing backups (not to the internet, but locally among disks).

My question is: what exactly is the capacity of this router? I thought when I bought this router that it would have very little problems to handle all this connections since we are so few. Although we do have several connecting hardware, I do not think we reach 20 items connecting either by wireless or by cable to the router.

My main problem is when the RDP disconnects..... every 30 seconds or so, and the response is very slow. This obviously seems related to overloading, but I thought this router could handle that internally. I am not talking about going out to the Internet, but the response within our own internal network.

The computer where we connect is connected by cable (LAN) directly to the router and the computer trying to connect by RDP to the first one is doing so by wireless in the 2.4 GHZ network.

Is there something that I am missing in order to fix or improve performance?

Best Regards,

Otto :confused:

TL-WDR4300 cannot admit 20 so many connections.

I thought they could handle much more than that. Is there a fix for that? Is there another similar router that can handle more than 20 connections?

We just did a count and we think we go up to 12 or 13 max, not 20

the issue maybe caused by heavy transmit, have you try only connect two or three devices to test the speed,will it still slow?

Hi, no. when there is fewer people in the office the problem seems to go away. What baffles me is that we are not so many.... I thought when I got this wireless router (have one at the office and got one for home) that this was a heavy duty fast router and it seems to me that 5 people in an office - in this time of multiple devices - with 2 bands to transmit, I should not be having performance issues. I would have expected that after 20 connected, but not 5....
