The technician is correct. If you are using wifi, those rated speeds are speeds that are in 100% perfect condition. This never happens in the real world. However 5ghz will give you above 250mbits...

It doesn't update on the C1200 either. It's fairly useless currently, and I blame the new firmware they started using.

Try disconnecting in Windows, and then reconnect. I'm sure the router is just fine, it's windows messing up.

I have a switch (TL-SG1005D) and it has worked absolutely flawless for over 2 years now. I also have a router (Archer C1200) and I find the firmware lacking to be polite. There's no wifi schedule -...

AC1200 is cheap and offers monitoring and QoS.

Awesome :)
