Router internet speed slow
I have a Gargoyle flashed 1.9 TP-Link TL-WDR-3600. I am with Centurylink, and I am paying for 10 Mbps. When I connect my computer directly to the modem (TP-Link TD-8616), I can measure speeds over 9 Mbps. But, when I connect to the router and nothing else connected, I am only seeing 3 Mbps speeds. I used the exact same cable between the computer and the modem as between the computer and the router, and the router and modem are only about three feet apart and connected by a Cat 5 cable. I turned on the default QOS, but nothing else was connected or using bandwidth. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I don't think the gigabit router should be limiting bandwidth that much
Re: Router internet speed slow
That's probably because the "Total Download Bandwidth" field is set to 3200kbps in QoS (Download) default settings.
After enabling QoS, you need to manually set your QoS maximum Download/Upload link speeds. To determine the speeds correctly, i strongly suggest that you read Gargoyle's QoS documentation, section "Total Bandwidth Field".

Also, make sure you've turned on the Active Congestion Control (ACC).
