Router TP-Link TL-WR841N cuts speed on Smart TV and Android

Good afternoon. I own a router Tp-link TL-WR841N. The firmware is the latest. It is connected to the PC itself, android set-top box M18 bilink and smart Samsung – all by cable. The provider provides speed up to 100 megabits. Speedtest measurements: PC 95/95, m18 and smart 40-50/95 megabits. Previously did not detect any loss of speed, measurements showed the same speed on PC and gadgets. I don’t understand what the reason is.

Hello. I will say right away that your speed is good and I don’t see the problem. Didn’t you used to have the same internet speed on your Android set-top box and Smart TV as on your PC? Probably not, you just haven’t checked.

I think that on Smart TV and Android set-top box the speed is slower only because the network adapters there are not as powerful, or because of the software of the TV and set-top box. I just don’t see any other reasons. If there was a drop in speed over wi-fi, you can still refer to some interference, signal, etc. But on cable the speed is always stable. And I can’t imagine what could have caused it to drop (if there was a drop). 40-50 Mbps is not a bad speed.
