Hello, ive recently flashed my Archer C9 with newest dd wrt firmware. To my suprise, after that, my speeds seem to be limited to around 100mbit. My home connection is 600mbit (via fiber) with operators router provided, thats plugged into Archers wan port.

Before upgrade (on stock) firmware I had full 600mbit ish speeds. When i plug my PC directly into operators router, i get full speed. Only via Archer with DD WRT on the speed seems heavily limited. Any ideas? This is rather crucial to be able to utilise full broadband speed available.

PS I even tried to flash stock firmware i got from tp-link website, but everytime i try to put it back on the router, via administrator/upgrade firmware, router seems to get back onto the dd wrt software.

Would really apreciate some help in this matter. thanks

If I remember correctly you can't go back that easy to stock on C9. Search on the forum for "C9 revert to stock" or smth like that, there is a dedicated thread for it.

Yes, see 'NAT/SFE/CTF' in my footer, but Xeon2k8's link is sufficient. What build are you using?

Short version: use build 33006 or 33215, and enable SFE; but see if the "New Build" threads mention the C9. Don't use the other recent builds.

jwh7 is right.

You should be able to achieve 600Mb+ just fine with QoS off and SFE enabled.

I have the C9 and am struggling to get stable speeds for gigabit WAN though. My thread is over here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=310624&highlight=


But again, for 600Mb - you should be fine. I'm achieving those speeds fairly consistently.
