I used the tp-link Archer C5400X with the latest firmware. At first, I struggled to reach the advertised 600mbps over Wi-Fi. After receiving Beta firmware from support, I upgraded to version 1.1.3 from the website. Now I achieve about 400mbps over WiFi and the router’s maximum is around 90mbps down and 40mbps up. There was a recent issue where internet dropped for 60 to 180 seconds. The ISP replaced some connectors, including crimping a new end on the Ethernet cable from modem to router. It seems the problem lies with the router itself. To restore full speed, you might want to check your connection cables and ensure they’re secure.

It looks like someone messed with the Ethernet connection, swapped some cables, and now it’s delivering 100 Megabits instead of the intended 1 gigabit. Get a fresh cable and verify it works.

These suggestions seem accurate. The modem functions independently, and adding a Wi-Fi router typically incurs additional costs. Both devices share only one WAN port, though the router may enable a secondary one in settings—currently not available. I’ll follow the advice in the first response and let you know if it doesn’t resolve the issue.

The router must display its WAN port speed so you can verify if Ethernet operates at 100Mb or 1Gb.

Looks like this is a B-terminated Cat 5e cable and he used the wiring for A. Annoying considering it says directly on the cable which type it is. Thank you!

The writing counts only if it’s a mass-produced cable; the wiring itself isn’t important as long as the pinout matches both sides. Likely this cable was made with B on both ends, and if only one end was reworked, that could cause a problem.
