Hi

It is advisable to test other adapters capable of 10G on the same computer to assess if the speed can reach 10G. Alternatively, if you have access to another computer, consider connecting the TX401 to it for a speed test. The NIC could potentially impact the speed, so it is recommended to explore these troubleshooting steps above.

  @Joseph-TP Thank you for your reply last week. For your own information to help other clients, here was my fix:

I got into my router's settings via my PC, opposed to the Router's app (Tether) on my phone.

TP-Link AXE300 has a Quality of Service (QoS) option, where I can select priority speeds for which device that is currently connected, and the speeds in which it is bound to. I previously had set my PC to having a priority lane through the Tether app, with 10000Mbps down and up. However, when I used my PC to look at the settings it seems that everything was reset. So I once again prioritized my PC with the aforementioned speeds. 

In conclusion, it seems the issue was with the router settings. I'm unsure as to why I received the2Gbps directly through the wall and only started to receive the correct speeds after changing my settings in the router. Regardless, it seems my problem for speed has been resolved.

Thereafter, I attempted to use the Ookla speed test via the website. It starts at about 6000mbps download, then drops to approximately 1400Mbps until the website crashes. It does this every single time. However, when I download the Ookla speed test app it reads as I would expect it to read with roughly 8.8Gbps down and up. 

Further, I tried various file download tests and speeds tests. All varying depending on the websites.

Lastly, I had previously ordered a Asus XG-C100 Network card. I installed it recently to test the theory as to the functionality in comparison to the TX401. Speeds remained the same, however, the problem I had with the TP-Link TX401 would some times drop my internet connection during a single-player gaming session, whereas the Asus card did not. I have not delved into that issue because at this point I've gone as far as I needed to for my own edification, I've just left my Asus card installed. My router does not possess the option to test internet going into it, but based on the tests I've been running from my network cards through the router, I can confidently say that I'm getting the speeds I generally expect.

If you can think of anything else I should be testing, please advise. Otherwise, thank you for your previous advisement and time.
