Installed a new router, now Wi-Fi speeds are worse

[VirtualBlack]

My ISP provide a modem/router which is the Huawei HG8245H but I was not getting the full speed I'm supposed to have, so I decide to buy the TP-link archer C6 V2 to get better Wi-Fi signal.

I followed the instructions of the quick installation guide that came on the box, but when I enter to the web page to configure it, on the last step it says "Failed Oops... the internet connection is not set up successfully" . However I had internet on my Pc connected by wire, which was weird, so I enter again to the web page and this time instead of the quick installation I go to settings and from there I enabled the Wi-Fi signal. 

 

I make a speedtest, and the speed on Wi-Fi was slower than what I had with the ISP router, so I try disabling the Wi-Fi on the Huawei HG8245H, same results, then, changing the TP-Link from router mode to access point mode, issue still persists.

What could be happening?

What speeds do you pay for? 

 

What is your home made out of?

I pay for 300 Mbps, the walls are made of brick and concrete

Well thats your main problem. WiFi is not designed to go thru that kind of material. 

 

Are you using 2.4 or 5 Ghz? Are your speed results in the same room as the router or in a different room?

2.4 Ghz Speed results on the same room

I tried reseting the router to factory mode and do everything again but this time following the instructions to configure it as access point,but no improvment

is possible I could mess up on the installation?  is only like 5 steps, so is simple but idk what could go wrong.

Or maybe is just the router from my ISP was better?

2.4 Ghz on that router is only rated for 300 Mbps and you will NEVER get the max. Id say expect maybe 2/3 on a good day, but your also in a concrete bunker. 

 

5Ghz is where the performance is on the WIFi standard. So if you need speed, your looking at 5Ghz, which will defiantly not like the concrete walls.

I never use a wizard to setup a router. It just log in to the firmware. It should just be as simple as setting up an SSID and WPA2 password. But its been a while since I setup my last TPLink router.

Could be, TPLink is not a high end brand. Though out of the budget brands they are probably one of the best.
