I have a tp-link vr600 modem router which has a 80mbs plusnet fibre connection. I'm testing on a wired connection with a windows 10 home built pc. My problem is I'm getting terrible speeds coming to all connected devises but according to my router the speed coming out of the wall socket is good, around 75mbps but when I run a Speedtest on my wired pc at best it will hit 35mbps and sometimes as low as 8mbps. I've tried everything, turning off wifi, changing ports, replacing router, replacing all cables, testing on different machine, line testing by openreach engineer and nothing has worked and it's driving me insane. Please can somebody who knows more about this stuff than me help me out before I go crazy!!
Fast speed going into router but slow coming out?

Your router doesn't seem to be able to handle the speed of your connection. That's the case with most older routers these days, and more than a few new ones. The technology of the connections has gotten better, but the older routers can't handle the load, and some router makers just keep using the older, low performance chips in order to keep their profit high. I think you need to get a new router. I went with a opnsense router on an old PC with 2 NICs.
I'm not so sure, there's plenty of people recommending this router for my connection, it was only released last year, it should easily be able to handle the speeds. I'm convinced it's either a problem with the tp link firmware or something wrong with the settings.
