Speed limit on 100mbps LAN to WAN

2021-04-03 19:03:58 - last edited 2021-07-19 07:14:44

Since i live in a big house I have one router downstairs from my internet provider, and one TP-LINK (TL-WR841ND) upstairs. The one upstairs is connected by wire, from a LAN port of the main router to upstairs routers WAN port. But for some reason TL-WR841ND limits the speed to 100mbps (more like 95mbps). When I connect the wire that goes into secondarys router WAN directly into the LAN of my computer, speed is maxed out and that is 200mbps. So the problem should be in /TL-WR841ND, although i didn't find a fix anywhere online. Please help!

Hi, please first be aware that this TL-WR841N is equipped with 10/100 Mbps WAN/LAN ports, so the negotiation speed will be 100Mbps at most. It may not be appropriate for your network if your ISP provided 200Mbps, it is suggested to check with the reseller and see if you can exchange it with a gigabit router, such as Archer C6.
