Tp-Link Archer C2
Region : Romania
Model : TL-WDR4300
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 0.9.1 0.10 v0032.0 Build 140716 Rel.54909n
ISP : DIGI RCS-RDS ;PPOE
Hello,
I purchased few days ago an AC750 Gigabit Archer C2 router.
I was glad with 2 channels and high speed technical specification, but I have many problems.
I will specify my home network architecture,
and after that I will start the questions:
1 router Archer C2
1 Smart TV Samsung(direct cable wire 100Mb from router)
1 Mediaplayer PNI Cinema HD170R, Full HD((direct cable wire 100Mb from router)
1 HDD extern Seagate Expansion 1TB, 2.5", 5400 rpm, 8MB, USB 3.0 ( USB cable in Media Player, port USB 2.0)
1 laptop HP EliteBook 8470p, Network card gigabit and wireless Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205
Internet connection PPOE, 1000Mb, the cable is inserted in WAN.
all cables are CAT5, and the speed was tested with each.
System operation Windows 7

1. If I take the cable directly from router, and I insert in laptop, the speed is perfect: 850 Mb on download and 100Mb on upload. (speedtest.net)
If I use wireless, on 2,4 GHz I obtain maximum 150Mb (with 300Mb connection speed) and on 5,0 GHz is 110Mb (with 150Mb connection speed).
I need to know if the wireless adapter of the laptop is the problem, or a "mysterious" setting.
If the wireless adapter is the problem, I need to know exactly an adapter with probably "ac" version type, and which could be the speeds.
2. What's mean 2 channels? I ask because I use 5,0Ghz and my wife 2,4Ghz. If I open a torrent, without any bandwidth limit, the torrent takes all band and a simple youtube is blocked. I need to know exactly the reasons.
A complementary question is related to bandwidth allocation. I made in router settings some allocation, but is a problem. When I am the single user of the network, I am limited to maximum 50-60Mb download, even if I set minumum 100Mb and maximum 300Mb. Is something strange here.
3. If I want to copy from laptop to Seagate hard disk (so the signal is laptop-router (wireless); router-media player(100Mb cable); media player-HDD (USB 2.0) the speed is maximum 5 MB. And is too slow. I don't know who is the problem here, because the cables could more, so I expect to be a setting in router. I tried to insert the HDD directly in router and win the distance, but the transfer is the same. Also I think somewhere is a bad setting. I tried with a simple USB stick(Not HDD), and the speed is the same.
4. I need to know how can I configure the router to keep my HDD like a server. I will explain what I want to do:
I want to download the torrent data directly from bittorent to HDD. After that to make upload from there.
I tried to save directly to HDD and the bittorent crashed, and I need to restart the laptop. I tried few times and I stopped :))
Thank you, I hope you can help me!
My regards,
