Model: Archer C54  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.10.1 Build 210830 Rel.72210n(5553)

I am experiencing persistent issues with slow Wi-Fi speeds despite having a fast Ethernet connection. Despite upgrading my internet plan to 300 Mbps and using a router with a 2 GHz frequency, I am only achieving speeds of around 90 Mbps on my Wi-Fi network. To address this, I purchased a new TP-Link router with 5 GHz support and connected it via LAN port of my old router, expecting improved performance, as per the customer care of my ISP. However, the issue persists even after replacing wires, changing ports, and resetting the router multiple times. But despite troubleshooting efforts, the problem remains unresolved.  As this significantly impacts my work productivity, I kindly request assistance in resolving this issue.

I'm using TP-Link Archer C54, as I'm testing new WIFI is in my room no other users are connected ,currently only my laptop. Im using the Router as Access point mode.

Hi,

 

The Archer C54 has 100 Mbps WAN and LAN ports, hence it cannot provide more than about 94 Mbps (100 Mbps minus some data overhead) when connected via Ethernet cable.

If you can replace your Archer C54 with Archer C64 (at your retailer) you'll solve the problem. The price tag difference is not too big.
