Hi MCWB,

 

When you connect your computer directly to the mode, what is the speed?

What is the firmware version of the router?

Have you tried changing ethernet cables?

Hey,

 

When I connect my computer directly, the speed is 180Mbps.

The firmware version is 1.0.3.4.

My ethernet cables are CAT5e so I didnt see any point in changing them.
