Hi, really hope there’s an answer to my bugging question, even if it’s ‘cant be done’.
Basically I have recently learned how to bridge my 2 routers together to create a fluid and strong range of WiFi around my home. However I have encountered a few issues and I’m not entirely sure if they are to be expected?
My setup consists of...
Modem - Belkin router (which feeds a few different sources such as; a 16 port eithernet switch and 2 face plates upstairs) - upstairs TP-Link C7 router (as an access point bridges to the Belkin Router) - this access point via lan then feeds my Xbox and PC.
Now the range for my WiFi is absolutely superb. Although the speeds are up and down. If I disconnect and reconnect to the WiFi, I get download speeds of 70mbs-90mbs, however after a while these speeds can drop as low as 8mbs and then can decide to jump up again. When I had both routers setup individually I never had any issues with speed. My PC download speeds are absolutely fine, I get 220mbs every single time (I pay for 200mbs broadband). However my Xbox latency seems to have increased from around 25ms-32ms to 32ms-40ms, and the download speeds have dropped to 15mbs-60mbs. Now when I first set this up I get speeds of 220mbs but they decline and I end up back with low speeds again, until I factory reset and set the system back up again. Prior to bridging my two routers together, the PC and Xbox were connected to a switch from a face plate and this gave them both constant speeds of 220mbs.
My questions are;
Why is my wired speed so slow to my Xbox?
Why are the WiFi download speeds so indifferent? Is this too be expected when bridging routers together?
Am I missing something here?
I’m sorry for the very long winded question but I hope I have provided all the information I can.
I would massively appreciate some help on this.
