Archer C50 Slow download and High Upload Speed
Archer C50 Slow download and High Upload Speed
Hello,
I purchased a tp-link Archer C50 2 days ago, and am noticing some really strange things. (I am on 100 Mbps plan)
1> The download speed reflected by Ookla is less than 50 % (around 25 to 35, max 40 Mbps) of what is offered by wired connection to router.
2> The upload speed reflected by Ookla is very high (around 90 to 95 Mbps).
3> If the phone is under the blanket, the signal strength is dropped by 1 bar even if the router is very close. (tested on 5Ghz only). I do have another wifi router in same room operating on 2.4 Ghz band.
On LAN connection :-
D/L Speed (Ookla) :- Around 60 to 70, max 80 Mbps
U/L Speed (Ookla) :- 80 to 90 Mbps (Always higher than U/L Speed)
On Wi-Fi using Archer C50 :-
D/L Speed (Ookla) :- Around 25 to 35 Mbps
U/L Speed (Ookla) :- Around 90 Mbps
The download speed is much lower than the d/l speed using wired connection, and always the upload speed is very high.
I wanted to know :-
1> How do I increase the download speed via wireless to its maximum capacity ?
2> How can I increase the download speed and the signal strength ?
3> Why is the U/L speed always higher than the D/L speed from my ISP ?

In my first post, the results of speedtest (on a pc connected directly to Modem via ethernet cable) are posted. Also, if my pc doesnt support high speed data, how is the upload speed able to reach near that limit and not download speed ? My pc is a custom gaming rig so I dont think it would have such kind of issues to not support high speed data via ethernet.

But why is the download speed only reduced so much over wifi and upload speed same as wired when connected via router ?

Hello, for your information, the download and upload speed you get from the modem directly is necessary. if the up load is still higher than the down load from the modem and ISP, the C50 is not the root cause.
Besides, it is suggested to follow the instruction to do further troubleshooting and narrow down the issue. https://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-2170.html

Hello,
Keeping aside the difference in ul speed and download speed, why is the wireless speed 30 mbps and wired speed 75 mbps ?

We have around 300 Archer C50 in our network, and all that you say it is true.
At the box, we can read till 700Mbps, NEVER, We have same problem, if you are closed to this router you can get by wifi, 80/90 Mpbs, if you are at 20 mtrs, without walls in the midle, 35/40 but our customers have 200 Mps, only can get it by cable.
Please solve it, or we never buy your products again.
