Hi,

I have 100Mbps connection and I am getting promised speed.

But wifi speed is slow. When I connect through wifi I am getting 30Mbps. But when connect through LAN, I am getting full 100 Mbps.

How to fix?

My Router is Huawei
 
Check if you can change the WiFi wireless mode(a/b/g/n), do change and check speed and settle with one where you get good speed.
 
Thanks @armaan_99 ..

Is it specific to me ? or anybody else having this problem?.. Wifi is connected more than 10 devices. Connected more than 10 devices but internet is used by only one device. Even in that condition, I get 30Mbps speed. Is there any speed quota for each device? or max spped per device?

Thanks
 
Thanks @JB701

If I buy AC router, how it connects to BSNL FTTH Modem? through LAN cable?

The ONT modem is already setup and I am getting connection.. Do I have to set up router with BSNL credentials? or just connecting to modem will do?

Please let me know

Thanks


Is the above router is good for BSNL Fiber? Can you suggest one?

Thanks

If you can afford that then go for the C80.

There are two ways of setting up the router:

1. Double NAT: Connecting LAN Port of ONT (Huawei) to WAN of router. This is simple and requires no setup. You can use DHCP option on your C80 and itll simply get the IP from Huawei. However, the problem is port forwarding will be tougher as you have to forward ports both on the Huawei and new Router. Performance could also be affected due to extra layer of NAT.

2. Bridge Mode: You could put Huawei in bridge mode and let new router handle routing, pppoe and everything. Should be better as TP-Link router has more powerful CPU. Also, extra NAT layer will be avoided. But this does require more configuration.
 

Thanks @JB701

Option 2 seems better. Is there any tutorial on how to configure with bridge mode? If I choose bridge mode, do I have to call BSNL to bind MAC address of router?
 
Hi,

I got advice as

"
Set ur internet connection in Huawei as bridge mode and connect TP-Link with lan. Select ppoe mode in TP-Link. Give ur username and password and u r done.
"

I think this is what should be done.. But any tutorials or guides?

MAC address binding may not be necessary.. Right?

Thanks
 
Thanks @JB701

Double NAT method has noticeable performance issue? I just need fast WIFI. Double NAT maybe good enough? So I can get rid of configuring..

Please let me know..

Thanks

Bridge is the one you should try. You will have to put on Bridge if you get a NAT issue at a later point of time. So do it when you are configuring it , you know. Its not very difficult

You can try posting screenshots and ask help if you get stuck at any method
 
Thanks @shashankb

As far as I learned, I have to change ONT to bridge mode and then in router settings, select PPPoE and give credentials.

Any other settings needed? Do I gave to change DHCP settings?

Please let me know.

@varkey .. Can you add your inputs in this?

Thanks
 
Nothing much to change after you get your everything working and internet on your router , just turn off Wifi on your ONT

This is related to Wifi and not the Internet configuration and should be done in your router(not ONT). Use WPA2/PSK as Encryption and turn off WPS as it can lead to Wifi getting compromised
