You can download this simple batch file to check your Gigabit link speed.
100000000 = 100Mbps
10000000000 = Gigabit

Your speed is capped at 100Mbps, indicating that it is bottlenecked by Ethernet speed.

Can you make sure you use at least CAT5E

Hi guys.. Previously before unifi turbo.. I'm using power line for my desktop.. now after turbo.. apparently.. no power line will achieve 800mbps.. so.. I'm thinking to use WiFi for my desktop.. do you know which usb/pcie WiFi adapter can support up to 800mbps?
Cheapest option pls.. spent a lot to upgrade router already. (Tested using LAN , can achieve 800mbps)

Router is RT-AC5300 btw

Yes, if you want the best chance to reach 800Mbps for your desktop, get the Asus PCE-88. It is 4x4 MIMO.

For USB wireless adapter, get the TP-Link T9UH.

my unifi had been upgraded from 30mbps to 300mbps, I had upgraded my router to gigabyte router ( prolink PRC3801 and the TPLINK archer C1200, i redo my back bone from main router to room router using LAN cable cat 6, ( I had two tplink power adapater 1300 mbps for sales , few month old only)

Speed with cable and gigabyte lan can to to max 300mbps,With my latest P20 pro i can get close to 290mbps when less then a meter within the router at 5 G , if i stand within 3-5 meter the speed drop to 100mbps....

Still aplenty , on 2.4G wirless max out about 90mbps... so to get max 300 is almost impossible if you not connected with LAN cat 6 cable or less then a meter.

Anyway 100mbps per device is good enough

It have the best change of doing so, and yes, it is 3x3 MIMO.

So did you get better speed after factory resetting your router?
I got upgraded to 500 Mbps but can't seem to get more than 100 Mbps both on WIFI and LAN. Both router and PC LAN port already set to 1000Mbps.

I am simple user with 4 user at home, total not more then 10 device connected at any time.
I have TM RM129 100Mbps speed package and I have 3 router at home: -
1) Dlink dir842 - TM provided set.
2) Tplink Archer C7 V4.
3) Tmobile AC1900 flash with AsusWRT latest FW.

I tested all 3 and they all have very similar performance on both 2.4G and 5G Wifi, speed as well as range.

My question is how do i test which is better router to be put to use with my 100Mbps line. please help.

Simple. Go to WikiDevi and see the hardware specs. But, of all routers above, I would use the AC1900 T mobile
version or the Archer C7 v4 as a backup.

Tested your cable? Get Cat 6 for both BTU to router and router to PC.

Currently using Cat5e. Will get a Cat 6 cable tomorrow and try connecting directly to BTU as well.
Even if it's a cable issue, with the default router DIR-850L, I should be able to get more than 100Mbps on wifi which I don't.
My concern is that the BTU might be configured incorrectly, which means no way around it but to wait for TM tech to come over.

Yep, sounds like you have to call them to come.
