Guys
I want to buy TP-Link c6 router. I get 100 mbps on 5ghz band of wifi from Huawei hg633. However, i get only around 50 mbps on LAN when connected to laptop. This is put me in doubt before buying c6 because i will be connecting hg633 and c6 with LAN cable. Any solution or suggestion to this .

Try a different lan cable? What is the link speed showing in ethernet properties?

It shows 100 mbps speed in status

I assume your laptop doesn't have a gigabit lan port?

but i need only 100 mbps and it think it doesnot matter if it is gigabit port or not. Moreover, earlier i had vdsl modem 777vr1 which airtel give for 40 mbps plan but when i used to connect 777vr1 with LAN i used to get 100mbps. Now i have upgraded the modem to Huawei hg 633. But it is not giving me 100 mbps on LAN.

Excitel > ER-X > DIR-850L > Mi Router > C6

This is the actual route for the C6 router at my place. Still easily get 80mbps.
