Wired internet speed extremely slow after installing TP-Link C7 router

Region : Netherlands

Model : Archer C7

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP : UPC


Hi,

I placed the router TP-Link C7 between my Cisco router/modem. This was necessary because wifi was horrible with Cisco, no reach at all, just 2-3 meters. I have 2 wired computers (UPC cable) and internet worked fine on those when using Cisco. Now I have better wifi reach in the house, as I hoped for. But now the internet speed on both computers is extremely slow. This has to do with the installation of the TP-Link router because before there wasn't any problem. I have set the Cisco modem/router to 'Bridged Only' so that it only functions as a modem.

Can anyone help me with this? I now feel that I have to choose between good wifi or good wired internet speed but I want both...

Hardware version and firmware version of your C7? If there is a newer firmware, upgrade it.
How did you test the speed? Describe in details.
What's the speed when connecting to C7 by wire and wirelessly?

Thank you for responding Vivian. The version is 2. I think the computers were trying to connect both by wire and wirelessly - the problem has resolved itself today when everything has been shut down and started again. If the problem reoccurs, I will do a speed check and post the details.
