Very slow wifispeed on Archer c7 v5
Very slow wifispeed on Archer c7 v5
2021-04-26 20:58:28
Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.1.2 build 20210125

I have just bought an archer c7 v5 and installed it through the quick setup.

 

I have fiber network in my apartment of 1 gbps/1000mbps. The speed is fine through cable but when i test my wifi, both on the 2.4 GHz and the 5GHz, the wifi speed is only around 100 mbps.

 

I have seached all around the internet for a solution and can seem that others have the same problem, but it seems that no one has found a solution.

 

I am starting to get very frustrated and almost wish i have never bought the damn router.

 

Please help me!

u can try go back to the previous firmware, also u can try vary the 5g wifi channel setting and protocol try just ac, than without etc, could be around using the same channel creating lot of interference noise, therefore its slow, however max what i got from c7 v5 it was between 300 to 400 Mbps 10m was 200ish.

If the speed is normal when you connect the computer to the router with cable directly, that means the router negotiates with your ISP line fine. We can focus on the Wi-Fi part.

 

Which device are you testing the 2.4G and 5G speed? What is the link speed on it? You can check it as this:

If the link speed is not as good as expected, you can refer to albione's suggestion to modify the wireless settings on the router, but we also want to remind you that you may check the Wi-Fi card on the computer, to see if its driver is outdated, try to install the latest driver for it, then confirm again.

 

As for the wireless modification, you can run a Wi-Fi analyzer, review all the surrounding channel, then choose one that with less interference with others, choose 40MHz for the 2.4G, and 80MHz for the 5G, security can be WPA2-PSK, AES, then reboot the router, and reconnect to the network to confirm.
