@SeanWashPhoto I support this feature request (ideally over SMB 3.1.1, which would also improve security and transfer speeds). Should probably be done for all AX routers, and I'll be selfish and...

@Brasiport Glad you found a solution! Just a heads up though — enabling SMB 1.0 has some serious known security vulnerabilities, and in my opinion TP-Link shouldn't be endorsing workarounds that...

@Joseph-TP I appreciate the link, but I'd push back on this being a feature request. The bug is SMB speeds being 3-4MB/s, which surely isn't what customers expect when buying a router advertised with...

@zacass This is likely due to the AX 55 using a very old samba/SMB implementation (Mine is on 2.0.2). You can improve speeds by disabling SMB signing, but that lowers security. TP-Link should really...

Nice find, @woozle — that matches what I’m seeing. My AX55 is also still on SMB 2.0.2, which likely explains the major slowdown with SMB signing (no AES acceleration). Given that SMB 3.x has been...

@Joseph-TP Thanks for the reply. With respect, I think the CPU overhead may be a symptom rather than the root cause. Users on more powerful TP-Link routers report similar performance issues. If CPU...
