We have a dsl boradband connection. Previously, we used a Motorola 331 router. We wanted a faster router, with gigabit ethernet, mostly for the NAS connection.
We bought a tp link archer c7 ac7150 and sold the Motorola router.
Since the TP link didn't plug right in to the phone line so we used and old modem/router we had (actiontec pk 5000) and turned off it's wifi broadcast. Then we plugged an ethernet cord from the modem to the tp router.
It does connect and it is a faster NAS connection but browsing is slower and pings take a long time.
Is there an ADSL modem we should use?
Is there something better we can do between the router and the phone jack? Is this why our network is slow?
Do we need to turn off the router function of the actiontec so it just works as a modem? if so how?
Thanks for your help.
