Hello
I recently bought an Archer A7 to replace my very old Verizon-supplied Actiontec router. I am having a bit of a problem with it though, after getting connected I am only getting 10Mbps both up and down whether I am over Wi-Fi or ethernet.
I've got a Cat5e cable going from the wall into the router. What is most strange to me is that if I hook my Actiontec back up and run a cable from the Actiontec's LAN port to the Archer A7's WAN, I can get 85 Mbps down and 70 or so up...it is only when I take the Actiontec out of of the chain and go directly from the wall into the Archer A7 that the speed seems to get capped.
Is there any reason why this could be happening, or anything I could do to fix it? Does Verizon somehow know I am trying to replace their hardware and capping the speed (maybe a silly question)?
Thanks
