first of all the router drops my Ethernet connection speed from 20 mbps to 2 mbps, no matter how much i work with it, even upgraded the firmware.

secondly the router>security>remote management> says SPECIFICALLY that R.M. is turned off if the default 0.0.0.0 is there
BUT if you know how to look at the router correctly there is a remote management address of 222.88.88.234 and web management port 80 programed in.
a blatant lie and back door? seriously?
this was present before and after the firmware upgrade

going through the router set up process can take 25 minuets to go from page to page, and there are a TON of pages to go through.

If can not log into the TP-LINK page, you can check the IPV4 default gateway on your computer. Normally, the default gateway is IP address of the router in your house. Still no, then reset the router. For the wireless router speed, you can turn off the hardware NAT or use a cable connection to test the speed.
