Hello Sifus,

Just got my DIR-885L today. Set it up accordingly and got the internet connected. However, I am only getting 80-95Mbps DL speed compared to 800+ with TM DIR-850L. Is there any setting I am missing? Your advice is greatly appreciated. I also notice under Wireless I do not have the option to set 2.4 & 5Ghz in DIR-885L compared to DIR-850L.

885L Firmware: 1.20
Cable: CAT 5 cable that came with the box and also tried using back the same cable provided with DIR-850L.

When I switch back to 850L, I am able to get the speed back to 800Mbps.

Reset on 885L is done as well, same issue.

Hey bro,

Yup, tried with Cat 5E cable. Don't have a Cat 6 cable. The same cable when I attach it back with DIR-850L then it works fine. Under Settings > Network > Advanced settings, I found WAN Port Speed and selected 1000Mbps but it did not make any difference.

Till date no response from D-Link Support. Submitted a report via their website. Only received the automatic response. Tried live chat twice, no luck. PM them in FB also, no response. Next, probably need to call them but they only available during office hours.

Yeah, kinda regret buying it now. Spoke to Advancenet Technology, the D-Link distributor. They are unsure of the issue as well, requesting me to bring the modem over to them. Sigh.
