C5400X - Internet Speed issue
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a TP-Link C5400X router with the latest firmware. All of my PCs are hardwired. LAN transfer speeds are fast, as tested by iPerf (~115-120 MB/s, 950 Mb/s).
I have gigabit internet, but my internet SpeedTests will only show around 350Mbps. If I reboot my router or change something like DNS or renew lease, the tests will be fast at >900Mbps. After a little bit of time (couple of hours), it’ll slow back down to 350Mbps (while iPerf remains fast) for all my PCs. Network monitoring on the router shows no bandwidth hogs when the slowdown occurs.
My previous Netgear Nighthawk router did not have this problem.
Any thoughts?

I just tried this new firmware yesterday, and I think it solved the wired client speed drop problem. In my test case, my wired clients were able to maintain ~450Mbps in hours.(500 Mbps ISP). However I do notice some bugs on this firmware.
1. After logging in router magange console(192.168.0.1), some wired clients info were missing. I got 5 wired clients but it's only listing 1 of them. All the wired clients works fine, it just not listed in clients infos.
2. Second 5Ghz is unstable. I use the second 5ghz only for my phone. And I had problem to connect to the second 5gh.I have to "forget this interent" and reconnect to it. It happens 3~4 times in a day.
Anyway, this is a good product and wish you guys can make it better. Appriciate all your works. Looking foraward the updating in near future.
Thanks.
