Hello, what is the current operation mode of the TL-WA801ND? Does it connect to the main router by wired cable or wireless?

 

To locate this issue, you can create a different network name for the TL-WA801ND and connect your computer to it to verify the speed you can get.

 

Meanwhile, please notice that, the TL-WA801ND has the 100Mbps LAN port, that is to say, the speed you get from the access point won't be higher than 100Mbps.

 

Besides,you can customize the wireless settings to improve its performance, like wireless channel and channel with. And please ensure that the firmware is up to date.

 

Good day.
