Good Morning
I have bought an archer AC1750 and the wifi seems very poor. Im not hitting full download speeds. Ive searched and searched and tried my best but nothing seems to be getting a better wifi signal.
"download" from where? To determine WLAN speeds you should use iperf3 between a wireless client and the router or a wired connect device on your LAN.
If you're looking for support, you'll need to quantify your findings - and specify the test scenario (LAN-WLAN speeds vs WAN-LAN speeds, just as well as the attainable WAN speed you expect). The Archer c7 isn't really a high-end device anymore, but it isn't bad either within its performance abilities.
On my pc was hittting 70 meg before i put openwrt on

I am too using A7 EU (ver.5.0). I just flashed OpenWrt like yesterday. on a quick assessment, it seems that i am also getting lower speeds on a simple speed Test in Google. Stock firmware achieved pretty good speeds but I am novice to OpenWrt and have to admit i don't know better, perhaps some tweaks to settings? well at least that's what i am hoping for.

If I download team viewer will some please take a look for me.
Thanks
You don't describe the problem though.
rubbish wifi speeds and crap signal.
nothing compared to when the router was on stock.
Which one is the router? Which version of OpenWrt is it running?

probably all abit of a mess lol
May not change much but you should set your country code on both radios (option country in the wifi-device configuration).
Also general good wifi practice to scan and identify your neighbors then choose a channel that best avoids them. Don't count on channel auto.

What's the speed you are getting in iperf between two LAN devices and between one LAN and one wifi connected device; and on speedtest?
Did you buy the router off amazon.in?, what firmware did you upgrade from?

Its my pc that is throttling speeds, really bad via WiFi reset everything too and reinstalled windows not so long ago, the pc is getting download speeds of 14mb and uploads of 17 and tablet is hitting the speeds in the image. so it cant be a router problem.
