Question: When connected directly to a computer, the download speed in the browser and everywhere (torrent, etc.) is about 10 Mbit / s, when connected via a TP-LINK TL-WR720N router, the download speed is cut to 1 Mbit / s, I don’t know what to do. Provider Dom.ru rate is 100mb / sec, but I think it's definitely not the point. Help.
Answer:
A very popular topic when a router cuts speed. Especially such budget models as TP-LINK TL-WR720N. I would even say that this is normal for such routers. Moreover, you have a Dom.ru provider, his connection type is PPPoE, and this is a difficult connection for a router.
On this topic, I wrote an entire article On Wi-Fi Internet Speed Below. Why does the router cut speed? If you haven't seen it yet, you can take a look.
What can I advise you:
- Update the firmware of your TP-LINK TL-WR720N. Here are the instructions for all TP-LINK models - https://help-wifi.com/instrukcii-po-obnovleniyu-proshivki/podrobnaya-instrukciya-po-obnovleniyu-proshivki-na-marshrutizatore-tp-link/
- Try some more tips for increasing the speed from the article: how to increase the speed of the Internet over Wi-Fi through a router.
Do not forget that the speed also depends on the device that you connect to the Internet. As I understand it, the router cuts the speed over Wi-Fi so much, the speed is probably higher over the cable from the router.
