Well, today I was feeling froggy, and decided to install dd wrt software on my wifi. Well, after a successful install, I noticed my speeds were way down, from 80Mbps +- 10 Mbps all the way down to 12, even when hooked up to Ethernet.
So, I looked through all the settings and only two made sense. I followed their recommendations, from a link sent to me. Two that made sense were increase transmit power and turning vpn stuff off. Well, I did that and it only got worse.
So, I re-flashed router back to OEM TP link. No worky, and it intermittently would hold connection. I went through two other routers, Linksys e3000 and xfinitys modem wifi router. Both of those are N routers and were in the 30to 40Mbps consistently.
I think I fried it when I turned up transmit power to max. Others had done it, maybe mine wasnt liking it...
Thoughts. I am probably going to get another router and not try to work this one out. Just curious if anyone has thoughts as to what may have happened etc.
