Can anybody help to advise? I’m on the 500Mbps plan and was given the HG8145V5 router. Weird thing is, I can get full speed wirelessly if seated near the router, but when I use a CAT6 cable (10m long) and connect it to my PC, speed is barely 100Mbps.
PC mobo is latest Asus B550 with 2.5G Ethernet port, all latest driver updated. If I bring my PC next to the router and connect wirelessly, I am able to enjoy full speed. FYI, my PC wireless hardware is AX200.
It doesn’t make sense that a wireless connection is 5x faster than Ethernet. Why?

QUOTE(eauyong @ Jul 29 2022, 02:30 PM) Check the cable connection. Use another cable to test with lap tops as you may not have another long cable. Check the "Ethernet Status" for a 1Gbps connection as it may be a 100Mbps connection. Also on Elevated Command Prompt (Administrator), type in the following commands: ipconfig /release ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /renew REBOOT Computer. Good Luck! Tried the CMD, no changes. Still shows my Link Speed for the Cat6 at 100Mbps. Tried swapping it with a shorter Cat5e and Link Speed increased to 1Gbps. Throughout both tests, I switched off wireless on my PC so that the connection is purely wired. Does this mean that my Cat6 cable is fake? Lol didn’t know such thing could exist, it’s just Ethernet cable ffs |
