Nah, still happening. Actually just happened twice in a 2 hour period. If anyone knows of a version thats running well on Archer c7 v4, let me know. I'll test it out as well.

I have been running v3.0-r34760 (01/30/18 ) and the only thing I have noticed, thou I'm don't see how it is a Router issue, is the delay between when I try to open a fresh page and when the page actually responds. Sometimes over 5 seconds.
This isn't after I'm in a website, only when I use a bookmark (for example) to open a website.
I don't use 5.6GHz, but have noticed, when I disable it the LED lights for a few minutes, then eventually goes out.

I was attending a seminar in a conference hall in Delhi at Hotel Metro View http://www.metroviewhotel.com and saw the IT guy installing a spanking new C7.
I just had a word with him and he tell me it's not an ordinary C7. It's running a enhanced software "Ddwrt", I was happy and shocked to see a commercial use of DDWRT, when I asked why, he kept going on about added featureset, captive portal etc.
First time came across any other user of DDWRT in person.

Hi
I have really spend a lot of time investigating why my Archer C7 v4 (EU) does not perform as expected. My speedtest results show 90-92/60-70 mbps from my android phone, sometimes a bit higher on my laptop. I own a ASUS RT-N66U also running DDWRT which gives me 92/92 mbps almost everytime (I have 100/100 mbps). I tried to disable the DHCP server and plug the Archer into the ASUS router and I got like 92/92 there, so it is basically not the Wifi part being the problem. I tried to disable the SFE and activate QoS (to ensure the SFE is disabled), same result. Anybody has any idea on what to do? Wifi-wise I am running 80 MHz, 36UU on 5 GHz, but I does not seem to be the problem.

Is your connection from internet modem /gateway to C7 a gigabit connection?
If not I would expect a bit less than 100 mbps as you are getting.

I am on Fiber, so it is a bit wierd why my provider gives me like 92-94/92-94 mbps. On cable with the archer I got like 94/94. So it is really strange. It is strange why I loose like 30 mbps in upload with the Archer. Running without NAT all fine, good results. I tried OpenWRT as well and I got even worse performance/stability.

Your connection from the isp is of fibre. But what is the speed at which your modem (which receives fibre) connects to the tp link?

100 mbit full-duplex according to swconfig. On the ASUS router it is the same. Facts:
1. Tplink stock firmware I test 94/94 from the android device.
2. DD-WRT without DHCP server plugged into the LAN port of both Tplink and ASUS router (having the WAN connection, i.e. Tplink router as clean access point), 94/94 from the android device.
3. DD-WRT with Tplink having the WAN connection 94/70 from the android device.
4. DD-WRT with the ASUS router having the WAN connection of course 94/94 from the android device.
5. Sometimes I can manage from my laptop to archive 94/94 via the Tplink router having the WAN connection, but it is not consistent like with the ASUS router, getting 94/94 at all time.
