Hi there,

The wifi connection slows down my internet connection significantly I have a TP-Link TL-WR841N and a NBN connection in Australia. My download speed is supposed to be up to 50Mbps. When I connect a laptop directly to my NBN router I get around 45Mbps and similarly if I connect to the router directly. As soon as I connect it to the wifi it drops to 3-5Mbps. I've updated the firmware to the latest version without any luck. I've also made sure no other devices are connect to it via wifi but same issue and i've tried changing the wifi channel but no luck

FW Version 3.16.9 Build 150310 Rel.54318n
Hardware Version WR841N v9 00000000

Any help would be appreciated

Can you test the speed of wired connection from your laptop to LAN port of WR841N like you tested by NBN router?
How about link speed of wireless network connection?
Try channel width 40MHz and ensure the network is secured with WPA2-PSK, AES.

By the way, the router is brand new or it was working OK?

Router is 1 year old. The wired connection is fine. Around 40-45MBps. It is only the wireless connection. I've used 40MHz with WPA2 and it doesn't make a difference.

I was just about to upgrade my FW, but seeing your post I have second thoughts...

What are your Wireless settings?
bg or bgn?
showing SSID?

I noticed it behaves funny when disabling sending SSID broadcasts...
