    I have commented on the tv model number previously. The cables aren't the issue. It's 99% more than likely the tv LAN bottlenecking it. The modem is good up to 300 mb/s and the router has gigabyte capable ports. Every component on the way is capable up to 300 (my slowest component the modem). It has to be the tv. I will test the 50 ft on my Xbox one s which I would imagine has a gigabyte LAN port. If not than I'll take the other posters advice and plug the 50 from the modem to router and re run the test. I just would hate to pull the cord again I ran it through the floor into the basement and up through a hole into my room. The hole was barely big enough to get the head through.

    Yes either way I'm streaming 4k just fine this whole thread was only started because I couldn't believe I was running 30-50mb/s slower with the Cat6 Ethernet cable. I made sure every device along the way was capable of over 100mb/s. joostinonline figured out it was my tv LAN port most likely being a 10/100. Also my laptop is a 10/100 but I have an Xbox one S and more than likely that has a gigabyte LAN port to test the cable on. I just was only thinking of the modem and router etc (just things sending the signal). I never thought of the receiver (the tv LAN) slowing the speed. Basically im fine either way I just wanted to know why it was slower being wired thank you all for your responses and helping me figure it out.

    The only laptop I have I just checked the specs on it the LAN port is only a 10/100 so it will be of no help.
  4. Seanw3490
    Me too. It's the only thing that would make sense. I made sure everything else was 100 plus capable. Not a big deal. I don't have an issue with the wireless. I just figured a wired connection would be more reliable for the faster speeds. I was wrong. More reliable maybe but less speed. Tried to find the specifics of the LAN port on my specific tv and couldn't. It's probably a 10/100

    Yea I believe we found the route of the problem to be the tv's LAN port but I will test the cable tomorrow on a gigabyte capable laptop. However if the cables were bogus I assume my wireless wouldn't get above 100 because I also bought a 6 ft of the exact same cable I used to run between the modem and router. If it was cat5e my wireless theoretically should be slower

    Wired this is actually the fastest wired speed yet tonight.

    5ghz wireless

    I don't even have cable for my tv. I had cable installed a couple years back specifically for internet because the Only other options available at the time were Verizon DSL which was a joke or satellite internet which tops out at like 25mb/s. I live in the country so fios isn't available.

    Oh I was paying $70 a month for 30mb/s for a couple years so when I bought the 4k tv and realized I didn't have the bandwidth for it I called and barely had to complain and they upgraded me to 100 at no extra cost and every time I run the test through the 5ghz wireless it's over 110mb/s. I have time warner (now it's spectrum I think) Try calling and complaining.
  11. Seanw3490
    I agree with you. The other guy is wrong on both accounts. It's not 5e and even if it was it wouldn't explain the issue.
  12. Seanw3490
    What do you think joostinonline. You think the cables are bullshit? Or is it my tv LAN port just only being a 10/100
  13. Seanw3490
    You can't know that without taking it apart and besides 5e is good up to 100mb/a anyways so I shouldn't be running half speed of the wireless. Amazon is pretty picky who gets the "amazon choice" designation. And out if the 290 reviews that gave it 5 star someone would have noticed.
  14. Seanw3490
    They don't make phony items amazon choice items.
  15. Seanw3490
    It's an amazon choice cable with almost 5 star reviews
