Hi all. I recently decided to purchase a TP Link Archer A7 for my new apartment. I'm moving from the C7 which has treated me pretty well. But when I installed the A7 my speeds decreased by almost half.

I pay for Spectrum 400down/20up.

When I was using the C7, my speeds were 400down/23up.

When switching to the A7, my down speeds were half. 200down/21up.

All of these speeds are hardwired to the router, so it's definitely not a wifi interference issue.

I even went back to the C7 to make sure I didn't short a cable, but the speed tests are still showing that the C7 is almost double in speed.

I've tried rummaging through the A7 settings and read that turning NAT boost off (hardware NAT acceleration) has helped. But that hasn't done anything for me. Any help would be appreciated!
