Issue with network device (extremely slow response time)
Issue with network device (extremely slow response time)
Hey, I see the issue. The slow loading times you're experiencing are likely due to your router's performance or network conditions. After testing multiple times, a consistent ping of around 1800ms suggests a problem with your connection or device. Try disconnecting other devices on the same network and see if the latency improves. Also, check if your modem is functioning properly or consider restarting it. Your TP-Link TL-WR841N should work fine, but external factors like interference or bandwidth limits might be affecting it.
Checking connections through both Wi-Fi and wired links shows a latency of approximately 1800ms.
DNS could be involved, or the router might be too busy handling connections. You can check with a speed test and run a ping from the command line to see if the issue persists.
Treat it as a direct connection to the router rather than through it. For example, send a ping to 192.168.0.1.
1) launch command prompt
2) enter "ipconfig" and hit enter
3) identify the adapter you're connected to, record the default gateway (your router)
4) send a ping to your default gateway using "ping 192.168.x.x" with the appropriate number
5) view the results here – note: avoid capturing screenshots of ipconfig
Here are the findings, the timing issues were my responsibility. I was connected to the modem during testing. The results below reflect the connection to the router.

If the pin went high suddenly, it might mean an unauthorized person has taken control of the router and is scanning for weaker devices. Your router has several security flaws.
