Hi Dan,

Yes, you are right, it is not a specific Debian issue.

But I don't know where to ask for help. I'm having trouble finding reliable answers to configure this router.

There are many videos on Youtube but with contradictory information.

I searched on the TP-link website and posted a question on the forum but I didn't have an answer.

I did what you suggested, but throughout the day the speed varies. 

So my question is, what a speed value mean if it varies throughout the day?

Thank you for your attention.
