Slow speed even with Gigabit Ethernet Archer C5400
Hi.
My Archer C5400 shows disappointing speeds via WiFi or Gigabit Ethernet.
The speeds are actually the same, so the WiFi connection seems very solid.
But overall speed is disappointing.
I used to have a 1Gbps down / 300Mbps up internet connection.
I just upgraded it to 2 Gbps down / 600Mbps up (but ethernet is only 1Gbps, so the Archer should see 1Gbps down / 600 Gbps down.
I get the expected speed when connecting my MacBook Pro vie Ethernet to my ISP provided set top box: 950Mbps/600Mbps
With my old 2012 Apple Airprt Extreme I get 950Mbps/600Mbps vie Ethernet and 600Mbps/600Mbps via Wifi with unoptimized placement.
With my recent and expensive Archer C5400, I get only 600Mbps down/ 300Mbps up, which is just not good.
I actually called my ISP because I could not see the speed improvements.
I did not expect my Archer C5400 to cap uploads at 300Mbps!!!
This is significantly worser than my 2012 Airport Extreme or even my ISP provided STB via WiFi!!!!!
IfI cannot improve this speed, I will revertto my Airport Extreme, sell the Archer C5400 (too late to give it back) and look for a more speedy router.
I read in another thread that a beta firmware is available and should improve speeds.
Can you please send me a link?
Have a great day.
Jérôme.
