Model: TL-WA854RE  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.0.10 Build 211125 Rel.59939n (6985/8575)

Hi, 

 

I've just purchased this wifi extender and I have a number of problems from both before and after a firmware upgarde.

1) I get roughly ~130MBps from my router. When placing the extender right the router it I only get around 20-35Mbps  

2) I saw advice about upgrading to the latest firmware and when I did, the speed has now dropped to around 10-12Mbps constantly.

 

Why is my Wifi speed to low via the extender even when testing it right next to the router and why has my speed halved after the firmware upgrade.

 

Can someone please help in navigating this. 

 

My internet speed without using the extender

 

 

 

My internet speed using the extender - this varies between 20-35Mbps

 

 

After upgrading to the latest firmware it has dropped significantly and I can't get above 12-13MBps.

Hi, Thank you very much for your feedback.

I see the latest firmware for TL-WA854RE V4 is 1.0.12 Build 221109. Did you update to 1.0.12 or 1.0.10?

1.0.12 could revert back to 1.0.10 directly via web UI.

Apart from the wireless speed, are you able to test the Ethernet speed from 854RE as well?

Best regards.
