I have plusnet unlimited fttc (80/20) getting 63mbps/17mbs on supplied router:happy days:)
However, I wanted to use my tplink wr1043ND with current firmware as it has gige ports for internal LAN
I managed to set up pppoe so it connects but performance is really poor:(
Any hints on whether this should work at the same speeds as the supplied technicolour router?
thx

I "only" have ADSL at 3Mbps but used that layout with a Thomson 585 (connected to a single port ADSL modem/router) as a "setup" option to initialise my WR1043ND before mothballing the 585. It should autoconfigure for the correct WAN connection type.

With the supplied Technicolor router, I got 71Mb download speeds
With the DGFV338 I only managed to get 40Mb download speeds
With TP-Link TL-WR841ND I get 73Mb download speeds
All very strange and needless to say I've stayed with the TP-Link but it does show there can be quite a variance between Routers.
How poor is your "poor" performance ?

My results are
supplied TEchnicolour router
Wired: 57mbps u/l and 17mbs d/l
WLAN 24mbps u/l and 16mbs d/l
TPLINK wR1043ND
Wired: 57mbps u/l and 17mbs d/l
WLAN between 1 and 8 mbps erratic u/l and 10mbs d/l
Could you do me a big favour and try out the TPLink WLAN speedtest for me? This is really doing my head in :-\PPP
I think it is a TPLink issue between PPPoE and WLAN.
Also, completely unrelated, when I swap over the routers they take about 5/6 mins to connect; is this normal?
Thanks
Quote from: picbits I had a play with the routers I had knocking about when my FTTC was installed a few days ago. I really wanted to use my Netgear DGFV338 as it was set up for all the appropriate port forwarding / firewalling etc.

Quote from: PeeGee Can't answer your question, but what happens if you connect the WR1043ND WAN port to the Technicolour? That may provide some clues.

Thanks for suggestion. I'm sure I tried that, I've forgotten what I have tried now but will give it a try because as it will not require PPoE it will verify whether PPPoE is the issue or not.

that is more or less what I get with my Plusnet router, 54g limitations I guess.
What I need is someone with a WR1043ND to test that

The wifes Dell laptop (newer than my 4 year old Dell laptop) has a wireless N built in and she initially could only speedtest at 10/10Mb but after half an hour of use she got similar speeds to me.
She's just tested again and got this :

It isn't my laptop as problem persists with different devices.(wifesand daughters modern HP and Dell laptops and my oldAcer and Samsung S2)
Yes, I've tried different channels and most of the other WLAN settings! I really think it is a bug but I will try the option of TPLink WAN port to LAN port of Plusnet to see what I get,.
I am sure that was the first thing I tried though!
