Slower internet while using Gargoyle (TP-Link Archer C7 v5)

Post by gfcaetano »

Hi!
I'm a fan of Gargoyle, so I've installed it on my TP-Link Archer C7 v5.
But my 200mbps internet connection is now at 90mbps (speedtest.net) after changing to Gargoyle (1.14.0). It was at full 200mbps while using its stock firmware.

I didn't change any advanced settings at Gargoyle yet, just the minimum setup to make it connect (PPPoE) with some wired devices and some through WiFi.

Is there anything I can do to make my connection faster with Gargoyle in the router?

Thank you!

With the additional overhead of PPPoE, no sorry. Your device is pretty much tapped out without employing tricks like offloading which do not work with Gargoyle.

You might gain back 10-15% by disabling the bandwidth monitor. This must be done on the command line. In v1.15.x there is a GUI toggle to do so.

Thanks, Lantis. I'm gonna try 1.15.x to make it a little faster.
