Hi guys, i just got the speed upgrade to 300Mbps recently and ran into some weird problems. Hopefully someone here can shed some light on this issue.

My house has a concealed cat 6 cable and i use this to connect between the BTU and router (D-link DIR882), with this setup my speed is capped at 100Mbps. However when i go direct from router to btu with another cable, and run connect a laptop via the concealed CAT 6 to the router i can get max speed of 300Mbps.

BTU >> Concealed Cat6 >> Router >> Laptop = 100Mbps
BTU >> Router >> Concealed Cat6 >> Laptop = 300Mbps

So basically we can conclude that there is nothing wrong with the concealed cable, but i don't quite understand what is causing the difference in speed.

Cable performs as expected. Maybe your router isn't setup correctly?
Google says your Ethernet ports should gigabit capable. You probably to go inside your router through admin and check if your Ethernet ports are on auto or not.

All ports are gigabit port, hence the fullspeed in scenario 2.

Stil thinking of getting maxis 30mbps only coz not really a heavy user and no contract at all with TM.
Anyway i also wanted to find some time to visit TM point to see what they can offer me...coz now they come with all the unifiTV which i absolutely won't use it...

No use Unifi TV then it's clear just switch to Maxis. Unifi TV is non negotiable.

BTU >> Concealed Cat6 >> Router >> Laptop = 100Mbps
- Is your Router capable to display connection speed from BTU (i.e. is it showing Gigabit speed here?)

BTU >> Router >> Concealed Cat6 >> Laptop = 300Mbps
- what about here, is it showing Gigabit speed for Router to BTU connection?
*
not sure if this helps, but.. try checking if your BTU >> Concealed CAT6 >> Router connection
shows Gigabit speed or 100Mbps.

if it's showing Gigabit speed, try performing speedtest again for
BTU >> Concealed Cat6 >> Router >> Laptop = 100Mbps
but with some restarts done.

if it still shows 100Mbps, try letting it run for some time 10-15mins, then test again.

try it with tm.speedtest.net website instead of the original version.


------------------

My 100Mbps sometimes drop its connection to 50Mbps, and while i'm troubleshooting it for some minutes,
it just cranks back to 100Mbps as per normal without doing anything - just a certain period of time.

not sure why, but it's not that serious (happened 1-2x times so far) so i let it be & just monitor it.

Anyone one of here does received new router or get replaced with new router? I seen the SkyNet courier service sent 4 big carton of AsusTek router when I visiting TMPoint this Wednesday. But unfortunately I am unable to see the Model No. by the carton.

Would definitely glad to see TM started to providing different brand than TPLink or DLink haha.

Contact TM via live chat and ask the agent to 'refresh' your account.

Got a feeling your account might be miscapped. It happens!

Heres an update. I only have one Cat6 cable connected from router to PC and not from ONU to router.

Iv just realized that Im still using the Cat5e cable that comes with the ONU. The light grey colored cable with yellow head sleeve, maybe its a very low quality cable confused.gif .

Tomorrow Im gonna buy a short 1M Cat6 or Cat7 cable and test it out, hopefully thatll fix the problem. If that doesnt wok, ill contact TM.

Try reconnecting the cat5 cable again onu to router. Give the cable head a wipe. Sometimes oxidation occurs leading to performance issues.

like you said, I went to safemode with network, the upload speed is always 204mbps.

ookla chrome 88mbps
tmspeedtest chrome 301mbps

ookla chromium 90mbps,
tmspeedtest chromium 302mbps

ookla opera 87mbps
tmspeedtest opera 302mbps

ALSO I tested my Cat5e cable too, switching ethernet ports with my Cat6 cable, same results.
I did a little bit of googlin and went through regedit, cpu-z validator. I don't have spectre mitigation enabled, It's not even patched cuz I never update my windows  sad.gif .

should I just give up and call TM to send their technician over? :confused:

Had the same issue. Troubleshooted using all methods found in this forum. Called up technician. Changed the modem another one time, (Dlink 842). Speedtest was promising, but to be monitored for a few days for the dl speed stability
