I wouldnt say anything is done professionally, all the crimping is done by me, but I made sure that I can see the end of the cables in the plastic housing before crimping, and if there were any nicks wen i was stripping the cable i would just cut that part off.The patch panel cables though are store bought. Before installing internet, i pinged every port with a spare router i had and all the ports around the house were able to ping the router through the switch. I can only swap the cable between the router and the wall plate that goes down to the switch. Ill add edit this if i find anything. And yes I understand that ill only get the speeds I pay for. edit: thnxs for helping, solved the issue. It was the cable connecting the router to the wall jack. I found a insignia cable that I bought from best buy a while ago and replaced the one I crimped.

the cabling between the router and the switch is cat5e, my pc connecting to the switch is all cat 6, and the connection between the modem and the router is also cat6. The light on the switch that indicates whether a port is running 1gigbit is on, but only for the one my pc is connected to. I connected my pc directly to the router, and im getting speeds higher than 100mbps, is the problem the switch then? I moved the ports around on the switch and it didnt change anything and i confirmed that all the patch panel cables work. could it also be that I wired a cat 5e cable the same way I wired the cat 6 cables on the patch panel? *edit*: I should provide more information. My internet is around 100-200 down and 5-10 up on a good day. I have just moved in and the internet is super inconsistent, the download can drop to 50 and the upload can be non-existent. When they came to open the line they split the line coming into the house with the tenants upstairs with a splitter, instead of of a new cable.

I have an asus ac1900 router connected to a tp link (TL-SG1024S) switch via a patch panel. When i connected my pc to the switch's port via a wall jack that connects to the patch panel, I was only getting 100mbps down. The whole house is wired in Cat 6. I looked into asus's router web GUI, and saw that the port connecting to switch was limited to 100mbps, is there a way to change that port to 1Gbp? The ports on the router itself supports up to 1 Gbps. Ive changed my pc's network setting to 1Gbp, full duplex but that didnt seem to do change the speeds I was getting. I'm thinking it might be the switch?

Hi, a friend of mine just bought an Asus TUF series FX505 as a replacement to his old laptop. He lives in a dorm where there is only wifi (ethernet is permanently disabled). He's been having constant drop out in just simple browsing and video streaming. I suggested he take a look at upgrading the wifi card on board. The laptop current runs a real-tek 8822CE 1x1 wifi card. Is there any chance that he can upgrade to a 2x2 and if there is, which should he pick up and does he need to run another antenna?
