Hi,

I have upgraded my ISP service to 200 Mbps. To prepare for this I have added the TL-WR1043N router, changed cabling to CAT6 and configured the Ethernet adapters on my two desktop PCs to Gigbit speed. I tested the connection at the Arris cable modem and showed an average of 184Mbps. I then used the same laptop and tested at the office Ethernet connection that would plug to the tp-link router and it showed an average of 173Mbps.

When I plug the router to that connection and the CAT6 (3 meter) cables to the Ethernet ports, the speed drops to near 95 Mbps. I have configured the router to static ports on both these PCs. I'm getting good wireless N performance allowing for the distances.

How can I get the port speed closer to the input speed?

Firmware: 1.0.3 Build 20161118 rel.64282(5553)
Hardware: TL-WR1043N v5.0

Thanks for any help!

I'm having the same problem using a Deco M5.  I am paying for 150 mbps service.  When connected wirelessly, my speed test shows a download speed of about 60 mbps.  When connected to the router via Ethernet, I get only about 27 mbps.  This is on an ASUS U47VC laptop using Windows 10 and Chrome.  I get the same result when I plug the Ethernet cable into my HP Notebook.  I also get the same result when I plug the ASUS into the router with a different Ethernet cable.  Can anyone help?

We would frist want to have you plug dirrectly into the modem and test the speed from there.  Please make sure that when you do the test its to the same test server as you did with the Deco.  Let us know the results
