tp link TL-WN881ND Slow Speed

[Nomae16]

hi, i have a tp link TL-WN881ND and im getting extremely slow wifi.
The wifi is about 1/20 of the speed of my other computers connected to the wifi. It has good signal but as soon as i test it im lucky to get 1mbs.

Hi,

Please ensure you have your router communicating on a non congested wireless channel. You can go to the Google Play store and search for the Amped Wireless Wifi Analytics tool>download it>it will tell you the least congested channels to use as well as other tools.

You may also download the program called InSSIDer if you have a windows based laptop and it will also scan networks and provide the congestion data as well.

From there you would go to the following Router Control Panel area (general example-yours may vary):
More Settings>2.4Ghz Settings>Basic Settings>Select the channel that is the least congested>Apply
Do the same for the 5Ghz band as well.

Hi, thanks. Have tried all this with no change in speed at all. My laptop (very old) gets about 20mbs in the same spot.
