Speed your devices: status poor

tomnguyenvnuk — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 11:00:24 GMT

Good morning,

I had bought an access point (AP) to extend WiFi signal to put less pressure on TalkTalk internet router. The AP brand is TP-Link Archer A7 AC1750 Dual Band Wi-Fi Gigabit Cable Router. The internet router and the API are connected via an Ethernet cable. The internet router now plays the role of the internet provider only while the API is serving wireless signal and having wired connections at the time being. My question is why the signal on the API is weak as reported in the following screenshot.

Also, I am facing a frustrating issue. When I fire up a VPN connection to my organisation and perform uploading commands such as docker push or scp, the ssh based sessions are interrupted and the internet connection is mostly frozen. This issue is constantly happening on my MacBook while the same work doesn't affect on a Windows machine. Have any of you experienced the same issue like me?

Hello,

Can I just confirm, do you experience the VPN issue when connected directly to the router?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous

Yes. I had experienced the VPN connection before setting up the AP.

Regards,

Tom

Hi,

Ok thanks for confirming. Does this happen if you connect both wired and wireless?

Thanks

Hi tomnguyenvnuk,

Which VPN client are you using?

Could you also please try switching your router off for 30 minutes then switch back on and retest (probably worth rebooting the AP once the router has been rebooted, before retesting)
