Re: When I do a speed test through my R7000 my speed gets cut in half.

 What, exactly, is your "the main modem/router"?

My Main modem/router is a ISP given modem/router. it is just called a "ISP name here" WiFi Gigabit Router AC Plus.

 

 

"my speed" measured how, exactly, on what, connected how, to what? 

I used to different speedtests, one is the ookla speed test and I connected it to the server of my ISP. The second one I used is the ISP given speedtest. (Both give the same result as they are probably connecting to the same server.)

 

Why add the R7000?

I needed the R7000 to get better coverage around the house, it is connected using the house wall enternet port which I connected one to the main router.

 

 [...] I currently have it running on router mode. [...]

I have changed it to router mode however, it doesn't change my speeds getting cut to half.

 

 

my connection with the issue is basically

 

ISP modem ----> Wall Ethernet ------> R7000 ------> Desktop PC

With this configuration I get a max of 450mbps

 

I tried to see if my house Ethernet wiring was the problem so I did this connection.

 

ISP modem ----> Wall Ethernet -----> Desktop PC

 

My speeds are correct to the typical speeds my ISP offers which is around 829.75Mbps - 979.46Mbps (1gbps plan)

 

And connected it to what?

Now I have my connection as 

 

ISP modem -----> Wall Ethernet ----- TP-link TL-SG105-----Port 1 to Desktop PC----- Port 2 to R7000

 

There is clearly a problem with the R7000 where it cuts the speed in half and I don't know why as my house Ethernet wiring is fine when I test my speeds plugged directly into my Desktop.
