Hi - Ive just purchased an Archer VR900 to replace the wifi modem supplied by service providor because I was unahppy with Wifi performance of that model. 

 

The VR900, my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) only gets a link speed of 11Mbps on the 2.4 GHZ network. If I switch to the 5Ghz network I get a link speed of 1300Mbps. As a result, I get sub-par performance on the 2.4ghz network. I want to use the 2.4ghz network for the additional range it provides. 

 

Attached Stats of when im connected to the 5Ghz network, and the 2.4 Ghz 

 

Ive tried a factory reset of the router and setting it up again. Ive tried Pram Reset on the macbook pro. 

 

When Im connected to the old router, the link speed on the 2.4 ghz network is 144Mbps 

 

So any ideas why oin the new TP link router, my link speed is limited to 11Mbps?

Hello Patrick,

 

May I know the model number is Archer VR900 or Archer VR900v?

 

And what is the OS version of your Macbook Pro?

 

It is suggested to change the mode for 2.4GHz to 11n and then check the link speed.

Note: You can go to advanced-wireless-wireless settings page to change the mode.

 

Meanwhile, what about the 2.4GHz link speed with other devices connected to the 2.4GHz? 

 

Good day.
