Slow speed, 80 on 350 package

Hi, can a forum staff member please take a look at my connection, I’m only getting approximately 80mb both wired and wireless on my 350 connection 

  • The ethernet connection between the HUB and Tp-link has negotiated at 10/100Mbps instead of 1Gbps, which explains the drop in speed across both wired and wireless devices.

    Try a different ethernet cable.

    Run a direct wired speed test at www.samknows.com/realspeed

    Post the results please.

      This is all I get below. Hub3 is in modem mode with a tp-link router attached, it’s  been like this for years and I’ve always had 350+

        Nope you need to revert to router mode for the test to work. 

  • Interesting, so I’m still getting the same error on SamKnows in router mode but this speed on speedtest.net wireless

  • Apologies, I have fixed it, it was a duff patchlead from the Hub to router 🤦🏻

        So your wifi speed looks ok for that router what wired device do you have?

        Get some new cables
