Model: Archer A5

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version: 0.9.1 0.1 v0099.0 Build 180313 Rel.55577n(4341)

Hello

My internet speed is 120 Mbps (download) and 20 Mbps (upload)...

During the bandwidth tests carried out: all devices were disconnected on the router except my computer and on the latter no program is running .

Results of the tests on Speedtest:

With router: Download 91 Mbps // Upload 20 Mbps

Without router: Download 122 Mbps // Upload 20 Mbps

How can this difference between the two tests be explained?

I got the same results from several similar sites like Speedtest.com

Thank

Hi,

The Archer A5's WAN port (through which you are connecting to the Internet) can only handle 100 Mbps. Take away some data overhead and you will end up with maybe 91 - 95 Mbps in reality.
