Hey all, hoping to get a little help if possible. I received the upgrade to 500Mbps a while back but I have not seen any difference in my internet speed at all. Am still using the DIR-850L, if that makes any difference at all? My LAN status is showing a cap of 100Mbps. I've tried updating my drivers to no avail. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm using a Cat6 cable. Do you mind explaining a little more on the whole gigabit switch thing? Not very familiar with these terms. Thanks

Thanks. I've requested for the free TP-Link AC1200 from Time. Would that make the difference? Or do I still require a Ethernet switch to hit beyond 100Mbps? Sorry for all the questions.

I see. Am actually using a Cat6 cable already. I'll just wait to get the new router and test it again then. Thank you so much for all the advice!

I'm using an Asrock B85M-HDS mobo from quite a while back. Could that be the issue? I don't think processor, RAM or GPU would impact my LAN speed right?

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Actually, am still using the old DIR-850L they provided me with when I signed up 2 years back. And I've tried changing the settings on speedtest.net, no difference unfortunately. Also tried using the speedtest on Time's website. Same results.

I see, it's okay man. Really appreciate your input. I'll just wait for the new router and test again. Perhaps that'd make the difference.

Sorry, double post.

It is showing 100Mbps. How do I get it to reach 1.0Gbps? Thanks in advance.

I've set it to Auto but nothing has changed. The Link Speed (Receive/Transmit) in my network properties is showing 100/100 (Mbps). Does that mean I can't go any higher? Any idea what would be the cause or how I can bypass that? My apologies for all the questions.

I've tried the 1.0Gbps option earlier as well. No luck.

I got this new Cat6 cable recently from IdealTech. Are they not a trustworthy seller? I'll have to source for a new cable again then as I only have an old Cat5 cable I was using before. Are there any recommended places/sellers I can seek out for the cable? Am just worried I might get conned haha...

Ah right, it's really really short though haha. Am actually using a desktop and it's all the way in my room. I'll test that out in a bit, though. Thanks a lot man! I'll update again in case it doesn't quite work.

Still no luck unfortunately. I managed to snag a Cat5e cable from a friend to test against my newly bought Cat6 but same results. Still stuck on 100/100Mbps link speed.

I'm not sure if it's possible but could it be due to my mobo's LAN port being faulty?
