[PLUG] Throughput Reduction Through a Wired Router


I recently ditched my Comcast xfinity wireless router and purchased my own cable modem.  (I didn't like all the info that the comcast router might be gathering, plus it broadcast hidden SSID's on a channel I wanted to use.)

Hooked directly to my new cable modem, I can get 350 MBPS, which slightly exceeds my contracted 300 MBPS connection rate.  However, when I plug in my brand new router (to translate the cable modems address of 74.xxx.xxx.xxx to 192.168.1.1), I'm only getting around 95 MBPS.

It doesn't seem reasonable to me that the brand new router (https://www.newegg.com/tp-link-tl-r605/p/0E6-002W-006W7?Item=9SIA7ABJSG5198) would choke the throughput so much.

I've turned off all the "extra" features of the router, but this had no impact.

Anybody got any comments, ideas, or suggestions?

TIA!
