Low speeds high ping ethernet and wifi
I pay for 1gig download through spectrum, recently got all cable lines redug cause was high latency issues and it was busted. Everything was tested all the way up to the cat6 cable from modem to rout...
Have you entered your correct speeds in Bandwidth settings? Are you using Connection Benchmark or speedtest.net?
When I go to change speeds I've tried letting it auto detect and that doesn't detect near what my speeds should be. When I manually input what they should be the connection benchmark is a D on every one of them. When I lower to 500mb and 30 up I can get A/B on connection benchmark.
I have also used speedtest.net Ookla speed test same result high download pings as well.
All test done with ethernet for maximum performance.

- Don't use Benchmark to test the speed, just with speedtest.net. If you disable QoS fully do you get expected speeds then?
No do not get full speeds with qos off
disregard, just retested without qos and was at 888 down 15 up
when on 5GHz my speeds greatly decrease though i understand not same as wired but i shouldnt only be getting 100mbs down correct?
- Okay great so how do you have QoS set normally - can you provide an attached file of a screenshot please?
5GHz should definitely be faster. Try this:
Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that
Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface
Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible
Set the antennae to this position _ | | _
