Internet Speed Low

2019-06-28 12:16:45

Model: TL-WR940N

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: 3.18.1 Build 180514 Rel.65124n

Hi,

I am using TL-WR940N router and have recently upgraded my broadband speed to 250Mbps. But when I had run the speed test , the maximum speed achieved is 90Mbps. When I raised the complaint with ISP, their technician visited and told that my router doesn't have the option to choose between 2.4GHz and 5 GHz, and may be my router is supporting only 100Mbps. Can anyone support, to identify the issue and resolve?

Thanks

Sreeji

The technician is correct. If you are using wifi, those rated speeds are speeds that are in 100% perfect condition. This never happens in the real world. However 5ghz will give you above 250mbits provided your router AND wireless device in your computer supports 801.11AC at the bare minimum.

For instance the C1200 Router and T6E both supports 801.11AC and will give you above 500mbits at any given time (provided the signal is good enough over 5ghz).
