Hello, this is my summarized Home Network Diagram. Hardware Used: 1. Wiring - CAT6 UTP Cable with Closed Ended RJ45 (Self Crimped) from Fiber Modem to Router 2. 2. Fiber Modem (ONT) - Huawei EchoLife HG8245H with 4 Gigabit Port 3. Unmanaged Switch - Tenda SG105 (with 5 Gigabit Ports) - Connected via LAN 2 from Modem and Connected to Passive PoE LAN Port 4. Passive Gigabit PoE Injector and Splitter - Generic (see attached image)- PoE to PoE connection using CAT6 UTP around 60 meters length with some running on outdoor wall (far from powerlines and other electronics) 5. Router 2 (Upstairs Router) - Tenda AC23 - Gigabit WAN and LAN ports (AP Mode connected via WAN from Passive Gigabit PoE LAN port) Additional Hardware (No Issues) 6. Router 1 (Downstairs Router - besides Fiber Modem) - Tenda AC21 - Gigabit WAN and LAN ports (AP Mode connected via WAN from Modem) Issues: Configuration 1A - Current Setup. With my current setup, the link speed recognized by the Fiber Modem on LAN 2 is 100Mbps Full Duplex Mode. Connected to the Router 1, the speed test (using Ookla) reading (using 5GHz Connection via Android Phone) Exceeded 100Mbps, around 150Mbps+ (Internet limited plan to 100Mbps). Connected to the Router 2, the speed test (using 5GHz) does not exceed 100Mbps around 90Mbps at best. Configuration 1B - Current Setup after a Power Outage. Currently the Modem Reported 1000Mbps Full Duplex Mode (due to power outage, all routers restarted) but readings are still similar Configuration 2 - No Gigabit PoE With PoE injector and splitter remove, connected directly to Switch and Router 2 (still Port 2 and WAN) the Fiber Modem reports 100Mbps. Results are similar to the Configuration 1A. Configuration 3 - No Switch Connecting Router 2 (WAN Port) to Modem (LAN Port 2) via Straight CAT6 resulting to the router and modem disconnecting and connecting with a span of seconds (5 seconds at most) with link speed reporting between 10Mbps and 100Mbps Full Duplex Mode. But when the connection is stable at best it is reporting 10Mbps. Tried using Crossover CAT6 using Female to Female RJ45 and Additional Crossover CAT6 with less than 2meter length. Configuration 4 - Connected to Router 1 Connecting Router 2 (WAN Port) to Router 1 (LAN Port 2) via Straight CAT6 resulting to consistent connection with readings at best of around 9 Mbps. Assuming the link speed would be 10 Mbps. No Reporting of LAN Port link speed on the firmware. I would like to know some solutions to my network to use 1 Gbps link speeds for full capacity of the routers, as well as future proofing. Thank you for your help and responds.

As the topic says; I have a cat7 cable that I cut to a shorter length and crimped a new connecter to the now open end. I used a cable tester to verify I maintained a straight through cable config (T-568A) it was ordered correctly and I was getting signal from one end to the other. However after plugging the cable from my switch to my pc I noted that I was getting 100mbps. Using a purchased cable from the same manufacturer I was getting 1gbps so I'm not exactly sure why my cat7 cable suddenly can't do 1gbps. Some context; So in a previous post, my roommates dog chewed into my Cat7 cable and it damaged a few pairs but left the cable working but not at full speeds. I have since replaced that cable and gone on to once again enjoy my 1gbps internet, however I'm not one to just throw away a still salvageable cable, so I cut out the damaged section and re-crimped the ends, but after testing them, in my known working 1gbps setup, I can only manage 100mbps. If anybody has any kind of experience in crimping ethernet cables and knows what I could do to remedy this loss in speeds I'd be very appreciative. NOTE: I have already tried cutting it off and redoing the connection but I received the same results.

I recently went from 100Mbps up/down (fiber) to 1Gbps; However my Computer isn't getting that speed, no matter what i do it's stuck at 100Mbps; from what i know, it could be the Router, the Cable, or my computer. The cable is Cat5e that they installed, so i don't think it would be limited to 100Mbps? The router is putting out 1Gbps or close as i can get close enough to that on my phone/wifi. (And it is a gigabit router, a super expensive one at that) [isp provided] My computer should be able to get 1Gbps as i have a motherboard with a gigabit port, and i even bought a Gigabit Pcie card, but yet it's all stuck at 100Mbps still.... All my network drivers are up to date. I tried setting it to 1Gbps full duplex as maybe auto negotiation was messing up, but still stuck at 100Mbps... also turned off some features i thought could be interfering, like "auto disable gigabit", "energy-effecient ethernet", "green ethernet", "power saving mode" My motherboard is a B450 Tomahawk Max, and the gigabit card i bought was a EDUP PCIE (model "ep9602") Please, if anyone could help me figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated... At the moment my only solution is that i ordered a 5ghz Long range wifi card, so hopefully i could get over 100Mbps on that... My network status: My Computer's speed test: My Phone's 5Ghz speed test:

Ok so I'm having an issue with my secondary server. I don't believe it's an issue with Windows Server 2012 but here's what's going on. I have an HP Proliant ML350 G6 with Dual Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Adapters but I'm only able to get a speed of 100.0Mbps... I have a netgear switch that the servers are hooked up to and my main server is receiving 1Gbps speeds no problem. The cables are Cat 5e and I've tried different cables. I tried to manually set the speed to 1Gbps but then it just says that the network cable is disconnected... I have downloaded the most up to date driver straight from Broadcom as well. Anyone have an idea why i'm only getting 100Mbps speeds?

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/gadgets-on-the-go/nbn-to-double-broadband-speeds-for-regional-australia-20170331-gvascq.html I think this is great! For the people in Regional parts of Victoria,SA,NSW And more, They'll be able to possibly get metro speeds that we get on fixed line. And even faster boosts? Aw hell yea!. what happened to hating lightning broadband? lol

And here I am again! Back on the Linus tech tip forum. Basically my problem this time is slow transfer speeds when transfering to the computer. Copying from the computer is fine but to it then we have a problem. You see for yourself which one is copying to the computer. The other 2 images are speed tests ones on a SMB protocol and the other is on TDP protocol. So it's just when it comes to real world use of file transfer that I get the slow copy speeds. Anyone care to shine some light? Thanks. EDIT: Cable from pc to rj45 plate this runs in the wall to router, then rj45 cable out from wall plate by router into the back of the router. My phone is connected by WiFi.

HI guys, So i recently upgraded my ISP to virgin media and have the 350mbps package, im using the virgin media 3.0 hub as the modem and then using a tp-link deco m4 mesh wifi system that is connceted to a netgear gs108t v2 gigabit switch that is going into my PC and other devices. When i run a speedtest on my phone to the hub it shows 350-400 as you would expect, however over a wired connection to my pc it is only giving me 60-80mbps down. i have checked that: the hub is outputing 1gb the switch is outputing 1gb the cables are not broken (have cable tester) my pc is recieving 1gb (in control pannel) i serioulsy dont know what to do, all sources are outputting and receving 1000 full duplex and i've even ran a cable straight to the modem and still got 60-80. the ONLY thing i can think now is that there is a software issue in windows 10 that is limiting it (i havent changed anything from default). any advice or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello. My old ethernet cable was CAT5e, but I think it had a broken wire, as its maximum speed was about 95Mbps download (my subscription to my internet provider is 500Mbps). I bought another CAT5e one like a month ago, and with that one I got 500Mbps download. Once, I had 95Mbps, but I moved the cable to another LAN port on the router and it worked again at full speed. Yesterday, I had 500Mbps, but restarded the modem today in the morning and, after that, it went down to 95Mbps again. I changed the Speed&Duplex to 1Gbps, tried to unplug and re-plug the optic fiber cable in the Receiver, but the speed is the same. Tried the cable in a laptop, the speed is the same. I will try a friend's cable and, if the internet will work at maximum speed, what cable should I buy so my internet won't drop again? This is how the new cable looks like: I forgot to mention that my modem is like 8 meters far from the PC, so the cable has to be about 10 meters long Would a flat CAT6 RJ45 10 meter with an internal copper conductor be good? It's like 10 USD (the one that I bought a month ago was like 3 USD)

Hi, So a couple of days ago I built a computer for my brother. I also ran Ethernet to his room from the router. After this, my internet speed has gone down from 60 Mbps (full speed) to around 0.2 Mbps, even when his computer is not being used (still on). I did some diagnostic testing and found i this much. 1. He is on gigabit, I am on 100 Mbps 2. When limiting his computer to 100 Mbps (using a 100 Mbps USB 2.0 to Ethernet adapter), my internet works at full speed 3. His internet works at full speed on both gigabit and 100 Mbps Any thoughts or suggestions on how to fix this? I had the idea of buying myself a PCIe gigabit adapter,do you know whether that will work or not? Additional Information: Our max internet speed from our ISP is 60 Mbps I do not have a gigabit adapter that I can use for diagnostic testing I do not wish to continue to use the USB to Ethernet adapter, it is currently being used elsewhere. Both computers are using the same type of Ethernet cable (cat5e) Our computers are the only devices i kept on the network for diagnostic testing I am not using any sort of network switch on either of the computers (modem -> router -> computers) We are both currently using the Ethernet ports built into our motherboards Router: Netgear Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 Router My PC Specs: Intel Core i5-4690K ASUS GTX 770 2GB GDDR5 Corsair CX600 600 Watt Power Supply 8 GB Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM OCZ Arc 100 240GB SSD WD Black 1TB Hard Drive MSI B85M-G43 Micro-ATX Motherboard My PC Specs: AMD FX-6300 MSI GTX 960 4GB GDDR5 EVGA 600B 600 Watt Power Supply 8 GB HyperX Fury RAM Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD WD Black 1TB Hard Drive Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro-ATX Motherboard

Hey guys! So i'm quite the network noob so I need some help. My family is upgrading their internet, and my dad and I are considering a 100Mbps down and 20Mbps up plan. Currently we are subscribed to Telus who provide a modem/router combo which is what we use for the modem, then a Netgear R8000 as our router. When we switch our internet, the modem will no longer work because it's locked to Telus. On the providers website, they have a few modems that they sell to you, and the only one they say is "compatible with 100Mbps" is the $200 CAD SmartRG SR552N. Now I can't help but think there is a less expensive modem that will do exactly the same thing because this one is a router/modem combo, which we don't need because we have the Netgear R8000. So I have two questions: 1. What should I look for in a modem for it to work with the 100 down/20 up speeds? Any specific criteria or specifications I should look for? Or will any modem work? 2. Are there any modems that you guys would recommend? Something available in Canada and relatively affordable. Thanks!

Hello, i've reacently upgraded a computer and a switch, and now they are capable of gigabit connections. This is a remote part of the house. Everybody runs of wifi except me that i have a cable run to my room and a cable that goes to a NAS. I should have a gigabit connection to the NAS but i don't when there's my 5e cable in the middle (i get 100mbps). In theory cat 5e should be capable of gigabit in smaller lenghts than 100m, shouldn't it? Is there any hotfix? maybe the routers don't have enought power? >.< It is pretty difficult to run a new cable, but I would like to "saturate the bananas" of my nas with a WDred... would I have to use cat 6? Thanks! PD: Moving the NAS to my room is not an option

Hey everyone, I recently moved into a new house and we have our ethernet wired through the walls. All cables end in the "networking room", where they are connected to a switch -> router -> modem. To connect everything I used only cat.6 TIA/EIA-568-B cables. So here comes my problem, when connected directly to the switch I get 1Gbit/s, but when connected with the cables that are wired through the wall I only get 100mbit/s. According to the specifications of my electrian (the only spefication I got...) they used cat.6 cables capable of up to 600mhz. Which according to my knowledge should be more than enough for 1Gbit/s. Form what I've read only 2 pairs in the cable are used for 10/100 mbit/s. What's up with the other 2 pairs? https://www.iplocation.net/rj45-wiring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIA/EIA-568#Wiring What could be the source of my problem? - It's probably not distance, because I get the same speeds in every Room. - It's not the Network adapter (I checked by pluging it in directly). + Worng wiring..? + Wrong cable used..? If anyone has an idea I would be very grateful! PS: sorry if my english isn't perfect, I'm not a native speaker.

Hi. I recently upgraded my conection speed from 100Mbps to 250Mbps but using speedtest.net I only get around 80Mbps same as before upgrade. My setup. Modem---> Router ( Buffalo AirStation N300 http://bit.ly/Hwy7uX )---> PC ( Atheros GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) ) But when I connect straight to modem then I get full 250Mbps. So is my router a bottleneck if yes then which router will be capable driving 250Mbps. I don't have NAS or somthing like that.
