New install. Poor performance?

Hmm, try installing the MTR package. See if you can easily see where that packet loss is happening.
Is there anything fundamentally different with the TPLink router that doesn't show loss. Different WAN link rate for example?

@jrutley Not seeing above that you tried different patch cables…?

I can definitely try installing packages to help diagnose the issue.
And Steve, thanks for the suggestion, but multiple cables were used :)
I just hadn't mentioned that -
I hate to say this, but it looks like I just had really bad luck.
Last night I switched back to my old router, and the speeds didn't improve. I have since run mtr with and without the new router, and the loss % across the different hops is very similar for both.
Maybe I should restore the TP-Link, put this box behind a second NAT, and try some file transfers across it just to be 100% sure, but I have a feeling that there's nothing wrong with this box, and that my internet connection decided to take a dump at the wrong time.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time on this one

Ha, well that's a good outcome compared with some obscure hardware incompatibility.
