just tried plugging in cat6 cable from BTU to laptop, ethernet status shows 100.0mbps speed only.  doh.gif

tried plugging in from router to laptop, shows 1.0gbps

this means my BTU is the one limiting all the speed to 100mbps right?

already lodged a complaint to TM, waiting for them to rectify it

Yep, BTU port is set to 100Mbps even though it's capable of 1Gbps so your internet is limited to 100Mbps. A few of us here has faced that problem. TM can reconfigure the BTU remotely but more likely, they'll just change the BTU.

I’m getting Asus rt ac88u as a belated birthday gift from my friend! It’s a good router, right?

I suggest a Mikrotik RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN. The product model alone makes it sound so impressive.

Now thinking of RT-AC86U instead as it's newer and claimed to have better wireless penetration! Anyone would support this claim?

Cool, new kind of radio waves?

Hi, how to know whether my BTU is 100 mbps or 1gbps? Cause I always think for such case, it is my laptop Ethernet card limit the speed... thanks in advance

Look at the model and its specifications. This will tell you if it's theoretically capable of 1Gbps. This applies to both the BTU and the card.

Once you know that, you can test. Of course, when you test, you don't test 2 unknowns. So you need to test against a 3rd network port that is known to work at 1Gbps.

If you don't have that then you'll have to start making assumptions and work from there.

Of course, before all that, you need to ensure that your test equipment, eg: your network cable, will not influence the test.
