I bought a TP-Link AC1200 802.11ac router because my iPhone was only getting 60 mpbs on 802.11n even though I am on a 110mbps connection. To my surprise I noticed that 802.11ac is not any faster on wifi, and on Ethernet it's considerably slower. I have a Motorola modem/ wifi router combo and in port one I have my TP-Link router connected. I have wifi disabled on the modem because I am using the TP-Link wifi. My desktop sits right next to my router and modem so I use Ethernet for connectivity. I noticed that if I plug my desktop directly into the TP-Link router, I max out at around 60mbps which is the same max speed as all my wifi devices that are connected to the router. However, if I bypass the TP-Link router and connect my desktop straight to my modem/ router combo I get 110mbps. That means that the TP-Link is only operating at half the speed of the modem. I have all the settings on both the modem and router set to default so there are no bandwidth management systems enabled or port limiting systems of any sort. I dont know what the connection speed is between the router and modem, but safe to say it's 1gbps since it's an AC router.
Any ideas why a router plugged into another router is only operating at half the speed of the cable connection?
