Model: Archer A8  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.13.15

My Archer A8 router is significantly slower over both wired and wireless connections than wired straight into the modem.

 

i have 1 gig connection and when i connect wired directly modem my speed is around 1.1 gig

 

when i switch and connect with router max speed  i got is 880mbps.

 

also when using wireless i never get over 600mbps

 

I've scoured the forums for a solution and have tried updating the firmware, turning on/off Qos, NAT boost, and alg settings, factory reset.

contact with spectrum support and then they sent a technician but nothing change.

 

Nothing seems to work.

 

Any help for that ? or just insufficient model ?

Are you connecting the router in AP mode or bridging the modem and connecting in router mode? Using router mode is best.

 

The wifi speeds may be valid depending on your device, which network you are conecting to, wifi settings, or network interference.
