What do they provide? Wireless? Ethernet?
 
What are you calling slow? Wireless? Ethernet?

This highlights that you should find out from the person who pays.
 
ISPs are known to allow for higher-than-normal "burst" speeds when their network isn't congested. Furthermore, if your ISP has speed test servers that are part of speedtest.net, speeds can seem higher than what you're paying for. You might just be on a 48-50Mbps internet connection, that occasionally bursts to 100Mbps.
 
What are your speeds at fast.com, openspeedtest.com and waveform?
 
I'd have to disagree.
 
Different generations of WiFi are able to achieve different speeds. Most of us who used 802.11b/g hardware will know. Furthermore, most people's WiFi setups are sub-optimally set up.
 
I'm not arguing with that.
 
It was a simple question. You'd be surprised at how many people reveal their setups until the 10th reply in and that's where we discover something problematic.
 
Unfortunately, we're not mind readers here. A fast and easy solution doesn't fit everyone. If you're patient enough and can constructively participate in the conversation, someone will help you find a solution.

Just tried this and got the same 90 ish speeds connected directly to the ISPs router. All our cables are cat 5e so I have just tried using a Cat 8 we have lying around and I'm now getting 200! Looks like the cables were the issue and the BT whole home mesh is running at 200mbps now. I will have to order some new ethernet cables to replace our old ones. Thanks for everyone's help

Most common cause is wireless interference.
 
Interference can be due to overlap with your neighbours' WiFi broadcasts or other appliances that use the same bands as WiFi (e.g. cordless phones, Bluetooth, etc.). You can detect the former with a WiFi Analyzer tool.
 
When you reboot the wireless router, you force it to scan the spectrum for the best available channel (provided the antenna channel selection is to 'auto'). That is a temporary fix because if the spectrum in your area is already heavily congested, it's only a matter of time before a neighbour's broadcast decides to overlap with yours again.

You're on WiFi. There's always latency on WiFi.
 
Ethernet. Plug in directly.

As in the ethernet link to the PC goes through an ethernet coupler?
 
What type of ethernet cables are you using?
 
A make/model would be very helpful.

Definitely!
 
Unless your ISP does not care about who connects to their fiber network, they usually have to authorize access by allowing not just the right credentials, but the right hardware signature.
 
They should also be helpful in getting you set up faster than what we are "guessing" that you need to do.

the reason for the change of the hub was i keep getting ping spikes from an average of 17ms to 700ms+ which when gaming is well just game breaking so trying anything at this point i managed to finally get in had to reset all passwords related to plusnet and it finally let me in

Oh I notice it has Killer software, is that installed?  That often lives up to its name and kills the speed.

Their network, their rules.
 
If you don't like it, you can pay for a mobile hotspot and use your own data plan.
 
But realistically, unless you're causing trouble they probably won't care too much what you do with the connection.

Heh, I got slammed for using too much bandwidth once

I did IT for a while at a university. It was pretty neat, they were able to see pretty much everything and prevent pretty much whatever they want. They would nuke your access to the internet using your student ID if you did something you couldn't and the only way to get access back was to call the IT office and they'd reprimand you.

You start by thinking it through, specifically the legal implications.
- Does you contract with the ISP allow you to do so?
- Depending on where you live, do you need to register a business / pay taxes?
- What if one or more of your clients uses it for illegal stuff, and it traces back to you?
And soon enough you should come to a conclusion that it isn't worth it.
 

from the community standards:
we're not *that* sort of forum.
 
it's possible, but most likely against the ISP's terms, and will put you in a lot of legal hot water if a user of said proxies uses them for illegal activities, or if the tax man wants a share of your profits.
as for how many.. well.. infinite? you didnt specify how fast you want them to go.
 
you get these blunt answers because the way you ask the question implies you have no idea what you're in for, so it's best to just *not*.
 
oh.. and i'll finish this off with my usual ramble that i tend to stick in threads about game server hosting:
 
"anything intended for people outside your direct friends belongs in a datacenter. essentially the only people you should home-host for is people you'd have over for a barbecue."

This is where stating pertinent information from the start could have saved a lot of misinterpretation.
 
Never will be. All of the ethernet ports can only go at a maximum rate of 1Gbps.
 
Higher aggregate/cumulative speeds of the WLAN are possible, but most home users don't care about it.
 
Shaw/XB8 (WiFi 6E, tri-band) ---> 1GbE ---> RAX43 (WiFi 6, dual-band)
 
Tests seem to have been done over WiFi 6E to the XB8 resulting in that screenshot
 
@jre84 - Hopefully, you've configured the RAX43 in AP mode if you're concerned about double-NAT and port forwarding.

As in the PHY speed or local speed tests?
 
Not sure what your S21 Ultra was seeing especially given what @Lurick pointed out about your router's specifications.
 
Port aggregation has to be supported on both the router and the modem for that to work.
 
When it comes to multi-gig internet connections, you have to make sure that your ports can exceed the speeds you'll be paying for. So, in your situation, you're looking at 2.5Gbps or better. This takes into consideration various overheads that can drop the speed and it also should provide you with hardware that can handle WAN-to-LAN or LAN-to-WAN speeds that high.
 
Having gigabit ports doesn't necessarily mean that the hardware can perform transfers at gigabit speeds. The CPU/chipset/cooling must be up to the task.

1) Your router is gigabit only, you'll NEVER get more than that to the internet without a multi-gigabit router (one with a 2.5Gb WAN port at least) and having an ISP device that supports 2.5GbE ports as well.
2) The router you have is WiFi 6, it's not WiFi 6E which is where you get 6GHz connectivity, you'll NEVER see a 6GHz SSID because the router you mentioned doesn't have the ability to broadcast on 6GHz.
 
Edit:
Assuming this is your router:
https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/routers/rax43/

Depends on how load balancing is set up in your router.
 
You should learn how load balancing works, especially as it applies to your multi-WAN router.
 
Watch the section of same video as it applies to policy routing. You can create groups of devices then assign those groups to a particular WAN.
 
Theoretically, if your internet speeds are slower than the maximum that the Deco can handle, speeds should be minimally affected. At higher internet connection speeds, you might hit a limit since anything plugged in to that WAN port will have to negotiate at least 2 firewalls. Placing a "router" in bridge/passthrough mode or AP mode, releases CPU resources to achieve higher speeds doing other tasks.
 
Where multiple layers of NAT come in to play is intermittent interruptions from internal IP renewals (DHCP), potential IP conflicts if both networks are within the same subnet, and firewall-related issues (routing from the WAN, through the first network and then the second, etc.).
 
Unless you have a specific reason to run mesh units in their default mode behind a dual-WAN router, I'd run them in AP mode. I don't think Deco and Omada integrate with each other at this time even if they're both from TP-Link. Using them together will come with compromises.
 
Again, watch the video.
 
Technically, if you configure policy routing properly, the chosen WAN should only depend on the client, not the AP through which the client connects. Explore the Omada policy routing interface.

If you simply want to access your home network from work, just use OpenVPN.
 
Unlike NordVPN, I don't think ProtonVPN has any "mesh" feature to activate.

Compare costs, not savings. I need that in a frame, will stick that at my workplace.
 
Was thinking about downgrading my NordVPN account to standard, but this PIA sounds good, cost-wise.
