So I finally made the jump to 1 gig. (ISP sent a guy out, installed new Arris TG3452 modem) The problem is that I’m not getting anywhere near 1 gig. The best I’ve been able to achieve so far is around 280 by plugging a laptop directly into the modem with Cat 5e. Over wireless I’m getting about 50-60. The internet/home phone comes into the house through coaxial. When I log into the modem online it says I’m getting 1 gig. When I go on my pc it also says 1 gig is coming through the cable when I look at Ethernet property’s. My pc is capable of 1 gig. My pc is connected through modem into router then router into power line then power line into switch then switch to pc. (Switch and power line all support 1 gig, Cat 5e) I only get around 40s on my pc. When I plugged the laptop into the router instead of the modem it only got around 40s. And when I plugged my pc into the modem I got around 1s. (LOL) I’m confused as to how it is fluctuating so much between devices and why. Is there any way to increase my network speed closer to what it should be? Thanks.
(Also the router is a crappy apple air port extreme that is from late 2011. (I’ve always hated the thing and I desperately need to get a new one I know) Also the power line is TPLink and supports 1 gig. The switch is TrendNet and also supports 1 gig)
Thank you once again for any help.
