WR841N - speed drops dramatically :(
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have this access point in another part of the house conneted to the main router by a 10m ethernet cable. It works ok but the speed dramatically drops.
If I plug the same ethernet cable directly into the back of the computer (with the other end in the router) I get download speeds of 120mbps+ but when I put the ethernet cable into the TL-WR841N access point and then connect the computer to it the speed is only around 25mbps :(
Any ideas?
I've done a factory reset of the access point but that's not made any difference.
Thanks.
Hi @Kevin_Z - thanks for coming back to me.
Yes already set to access point mode and connected via WAN port.
I'm using a Mac and the Network Utility app has now been depreciated.
Using the speed test app you can see below the test at 16.21 was with the ethernet cable from the router connected through the WR841N - the second test at 16:22 was with the ethernet cable plugged directly into the computer - you can see a big difference :(
