Question for sifus. TIME messaged me to say I got the 500Mbps upgrade, but when I did a speedtest, via LAN to the router, I still get abt 100Mbps. Is there something I'm supposed to do?
LAN cable is a cat5 iirc, if that makes a difference. Is this a hardware limitation still? Or should I change my cat5 cables to cat6 or something? |

QUOTE(wirelessbuyer @ Oct 22 2018, 01:58 AM) From the previous discussion, the most common issues that is bottlenecking the speed is as below: Got a couple of things, » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « If all of the common issues above is not related to you, then you might need to connect directly to your modem from your PC via LAN (this will bypass the router). Just setup a PPPOE connection on your windows with your PPPOE username and password. Here, you can perform speedtest to check the 'raw' speed that is coming from the ISP. I hope this will help. 1. How do I get to the "speed and duplex"? 2. NAT Boost is enabled 3. Router is the recent upgrade offered by TIME 4. I'm not sure where the WAN speed setting is. Sorry >.< 5. Duplex is Auto-Negotiation 6. QOS is disabled It seems that when I perform speedtests, the download is consistently 90+, but the upload spikes suddenly to 500 then drops back to 100 This post has been edited by xKeneshirox: Oct 22 2018, 01:19 PM |

QUOTE(wirelessbuyer @ Oct 22 2018, 03:21 PM) First of all what is your ethernet adapter speed on your pc? https://goo.gl/Vfq65o Alright. 1. The speed and duplex setting can be find here. Windows setting > Network & Internet > Change adapter option > Right click your LAN adapter (not wifi adapter yah) > Properties > Configure > Advance tab > Look for speed & duplex > It should be Auto Negotiation but try to change it manually to 1Gbps and retest. Also try to disable the option for power saver, energy efficient temporarily and see if there is any changes. 5. Try to change manually to 1000Mbps full duplex temporarily and restart the router. See whether it helps The ethernet adapter shows 100Mbps only. Not sure how to fix that. Have updated drivers to the latest. |
