Model :

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :

Hello Guys, i am facing a problem with TD-W8960N V5 router , i tried different firmwares but the problem persists , currently i am on firmware 1.1.1 Build 141107 Rel.34856 (The latest)

The problem is that sometimes the router just caps the speed of my ADSL connection , i have a 8mb adsl connection , my download speed reaches 1 megabyte/sec but sometimes when i use the TP link router and try to download a file using download manager from download.com i find that my download speed starts from 1mb and keeps falling till it reaches 200k/sec and then settles , i keep downloading the file with only 200k/sec , it is like the router throttles my connection speed to 2mbit which i don't understand why , same applies to streaming , speed tests , etc.
Problem exists when connected VIA LAN or wireless regardless

Has anyone faced this problem?

Note that i tried to connect another router directly to my phone line to be used as a modem and this router connected to the other router using a LAN (TP link router used as an access point) and connect to the TP-link router the problem doesn't exist anymore , so i think the problem is related to the modem of the TP Link TD-W8960N router.

There is one thing that i need to try which is disable the WAN firewall which i can't do , can anyone help with this? maybe this is causing the problem.

Thank you in advance guys

What's the downstream and upstream showing on staus page of W8960N normally?
When internet speed drops, what does it show?
Try to change DSL mode to ADSL2+.

Dear mavis,Thank you v.much for your reply. The download and upload streams are the same 8192/1024 . When I start a download I get the maximum speed 1mbyte/sec for like 30 seconds then the speed drops to 200k/sec as if my connection is 2mbit/sec while the router page shows 8mbit/secnote that this only happens with tplink router
