Low Speeds on Archer C6 V3.20 during bridge mode.

write to support.in at TP-Link.com asking to include that feature in next release of firmware, if it does not exist in v3.2
you may or may not get any reply or support but at least you can report to them.

You have C6 v2, mine is c6 v3.

Flash Openwrt, I flashed it the first day I got my c6v3.2

@Aashish.007 what are the benefits of that? can you show by screenshots, user interface and stuff?

 

[rohitks]

You can flash third-party firmware like openwrt. It might void the warranty and if you are not familiar with reverting procedures then going back to stock firmware could be very challenging.

 

[Aashish.007]

Yes right, reverting is almost impossible but I never needed to revert. My main router is a RPi4b with 3 aps 2× archer a6/c6 v3 and an AX1500.

It is the stock rom on Steroids. Lots of steroids..

I had installed ddwrt on my D-Link router. I somehow did not find it better than stock. To go back I was struggling for 2 days. Finally, Windows XP virtual machine with old Mozilla web browser was the only thing that the dlink router accepted that too in emergency room interface to upload the stock firmware. With all other OS and browsers I was simply getting an error and was stuck for 2 days. I am not discouraging you @nishantt6969 from installing third-party stuff, just know all challenges of it beforehand. Do good amount of research, study it properly and then go ahead.

Thank you guys for the suggestions. I really appreciate that. Right now I am not sure about the time it will take to revert back, and not sure about increase speed as well. I think its better for me to stay at stock rom.

@Aashish.007 please guide me through the link of open wrt firmware for TP-Link archer c6 v3.2 US version.

You have to be patient as it is full of features and one hell of a ride.
