New router/pci-e wifi adapter unable to maintain proper speeds
Hey guys. I have a new TP-Link BE15000 Archer BE700 router paired with an Archer TBE550E pci-e adapter. Got it set up and PC is on the MLO network. Did multiple speed tests averaging 18-2000 Mbps down and 1800 Mbps up from my Cox fiber 2g down plan. I updated firmware to the latest version and now all tests come back averaging 8-900 Mbps down speeds. Nothing else has changed. Enabling/disabling QoS makes no difference. What can I do to troubleshoot this? Not sure why a firmware update would drastically tank my speeds like that.
I did a factory reset last night and it was getting 1900Mbps down after that. Went to bed and tried again today and it is even worse at 145Mbps down/1069Mbps up. I have no idea what to do or how to troubleshoot this.
Thank you!
Hello @Bonrdaddy ,
Welcome to our community.
May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:
ISP modem—BE700)))((( PC with Archer TBE550E and other clients
(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )
Is the firmware version of your router 1.2.2 Build 20251027 rel.47412 now? What is the driver version of your Archer TBE550E?
Are the speed test results all from a wireless connection on the PC with Archer TBE550E? Please test the router's wired speed. Is it running at full speed and stable?
Please enable the QoS feature and set both bandwidths to 2000 Mbps.
By the way, do you have another client to test the BE700's speed for comparison?
