Model: Archer C2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Archer C2(EU)_V1_170207

Good morning.

 

I have Archer C2 v1. Last firmware.

 

I have 22 MB/s in 2.4Ghz and 14 MB/s in 5Ghz. Distance is 60 cm between laptop and router. 

 

Why 5Ghz is slower?

Please click here to check the wireless negotiation speed of your device when it is connected to 2.4GHz and 5GHz respectively.

 

Try to move it further away from the C2, like 3 meters and then test the speed again.

 

You can adjust the wireless settings to give it a go as well, including wireless channel, channel width. 

 

Good day.

Thanks for your reply. It seems that the 2.4GHz and 5GHz speeds are both fine. What is the bandwidth you paid?Is 5GHz speed slower than the bandwidth you paid?

 

With the device connected to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz, please check the wireless negotiation speed on your device. Here is the instruction: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2265/

 

Have you ever tried to change the wireless settings of 5GHz? Like wireless channel and channel width? 

 

Good day.

Hmmmm Well it all depends on your hardware. If your 5ghz receiver is full wireless n 300mbps or half at 150mbps. Are you using wpa2 with aes or tkip? Tkip is not meant for wireless n. More info on your hardware setups needed.
