Doesn't that LG TV have a LAN connection? I'd be using that rather than Wi-Fi if it's near the router.

I'd honestly look for a USB 2.0 to Gigabit ethernet adapter, you know its going to be within the current rating then.  Although I think the key is it has be a driverless adapter for the TV to support it using the generic USB Ethernet driver.

Actually, that also means the USB to 2.5Gbit Realtek adapters probably work too.  If I can find mine I will check it on my C8.
So apparently not, which is strange as it worked before it was officially supported on Linux.

well, I thought I would first 're-try' the good one I got on this new TP-Link router - low and behold, 310Mbps on the Netflix test! - got a 75Mbps 4K "averaged" video playing smoothly with no issues, brill, Wi-Fi is getting turned off, it's just an entry point! mobile data will do for now.

I assumed it was a TV limit, seems it was something to do with routers?

To those who get this on Aquiss and have set PPPoE at 1492 in their Windows TCP/IP Stack, be sure to change it from 1480 (default) to 1492 in the router, I noticed whilst speed tests were fine, download speeds themselves were 'iffy', luckily a quick search found the issue, mismatched MTU's - soon as I changed it the problem went away

so yeah these TP-Link Archer series seem to have 1480 MTU by default.

Shame there is no online MAC system anymore.

I requested a PAC on EE when my last contract expired, and within 20 minutes a retention dude rang me and gave me a pretty good deal.  All without me doing any kind of reaching out, just one click of a button.

Nobody changes the MTU settings in Windows any more and neither should you. I'm sure you have been given this advice a couple times already.
The OS can adjust this on the fly and picking a fixed MTU will do nothing but cause issues.

I've never owned a TP-Link that wasn't set to 1500 MTU by default (which is 1492 on PPPoE).

You should reset whatever you changed with TCP/IP in Windows to default settings and you likely will find the TP-Link behaving normally again.

Agreed, generally you only need to make sure the router settings are correct and possibly change any game consoles, but PCs should not need anything changing from default.
