Evening,

I've recently joined the TP-Link side after being a Netgear customer for quite a number of years. But after having issues, I opted for the the TP-Link AX73 5400 as it was an upgrade to the AX WiFi. I also bought an RE605X and making good use of the Mesh network.

My issue I have come across is that seems switching from my previous router, my latency has doubled in some places - like when doing speed tests or simple pings to such as the BBC.

I am hardwired / ethernet cable to the TP-Link router and I haven't changed any of the settings since the initial setup (only set the Wifi name and password)

I am with TalkTalk UK via CityFibre network (full fibre to the properly, the speed is unaffected with 1Gbps down and up)

Many Thanks
