Slow Internet with tl wa860re v6
Hi there,
I honestly cannot begin to fathom what's wrong with my repeater, a meter away from my router Original network speeds 291mb, with the Tl-wa860re V6 20mb. Away(7m if that much but in a different room) but still within within distance of perfect operation, the app tells me to plug it a little bit farther to maximize coverage it's measuring 18mb through ethernet and 32 through the ethernet connection.
It mentioned 300 mbps on your website. How can this be so slow? Is there a setting I'm not finding that allows a different type of connection like b, g or n??

HI@Mingos,
Thank you for contacting our community.
Please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot potential speed issues and improve the speed of your Range Extender.
1. First of all, we recommend using http://www.speedtest.net to test the speed accurately. Speedtest APP/CLI tools (https://www.speedtest.net/apps/) would be better.
2. If the signal light on the extender is red, move it closer to the host Router to receive a better wireless signal.
3. Adjust the location and antennas on the extender for optimal performance. Check this link for detailed guidance: How to place your wireless Range Extender
4. At the same location as the Range extender, connect to the Wi-Fi network of the host Router, and run a speedtest for comparison.
5. Your extender to check whether it has a 1 x 10/100Mbps Ethernet Port,so the Ethernet speed is less than 100m/s
Note: Range Extenders extend Wi-Fi coverage rather than boosting speed. Affected by wireless interferences, extender size, and antenna direction, devices connected via an extender typically experience about 50% slower speeds than a direct router as data travels through two wireless hops: Device ⇄ Extender ⇄ Router.

@Mingos I have the same issue, they answers you are getting seems to be just stock replies. Did you manage to fix it? I have 150mb speed but the extender never gets more than 30 even when next to the router
