Archer AX80 (EU) - Easy mesh - Clarify Connection Speeds
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
THE SETUP
I have two Archer Ax80 setup in easy mesh with Ethernet backhaul.
I have a 500mbps internet connection.
The EasyMesh master router
A CAT 5E cable from the internet modem plugs into the blue 2.5Gbps port
A CAT 5E Ethernet cable runs from the 1 Gbps WAN/LAN port on the master, to a plug at the wall
a speed test on my phone standing next to the master router gets 527 Mbps DOWN / 61 Mbps UP
The EasyMesh satellite router
Ethernet cable runs from the wall to the 2.5Gbps port on the satellite AX80
a speed test on my phone standing next to the satellite router gets 96 Mbps DOWN / 60 Mbps UP
THE PROBLEM / QUESTION
When I check on the Ethernet status in the TP-Link UI (192.168.0.1) for the 1 Gbps port I see:
1Gbps WAN/LAN
100Mbps
Full Duplex
I'm not sure how to be certain of the speed at the satellite, but based on this indication and speed test results, it seems I'm getting 100Mbps at the satellite.
How do I get the full speed at the satellite? Have I set it up incorrectly? Something I should do to diagnose?
Appreciate any guidance!
Extra Q: I used to be able to do a speed test in the router UI itself on a different TpLink router. When I search in the router config UI for 'Speed' it gives a result looking like it's there 'Network Status > Speed test', but when I click the result I'm taken to the Network Status page and there's no speed test option. Is that no longer available?
