Hi All, I have recently bought tp link 8960n extracted sky password from sky sagem entered in new router, i am connected to internet but speeds of only 1-2 mbps rather than my usual speeds of 12mbps. I have retained the tp link ip of 192.168.1.1 rather than use skys 192.168.0.1, can you advise if I need to alter any further settings?? :confused:

Ok, here are the figures, i did a speedtest via OOKLA at the time it gave speed of 0.25 mbps, as soon as i switch back to my sagem router i get 12mbps!!

Line Coding(Trellis): On On
SNR Margin (0.1 dB): Downstream 60 Upstream 52
Attenuation (0.1 dB): Downstream 340 Upstream 190

Interesting that i obtained my stats from the sagem router. I am using the same connections for both boxes just swap them over, I cannot understand why the difference in speeds????

SNR Margin (0.1 dB): Downstream 6.1 Upstream 5.1
Attenuation (0.1 dB): Downstream 32.5 Upstream 18.8
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 17167 1,166
Rate (Kbps): Downstream 15487 Upstream 1274
