Netgear network speeds
So I have a home network with a mix of Win7 (Pro and Ultimate) and Win10 (Pro and LTSB) machines, desktops, towers, NUC and SFF laptops and tablets. Both wired and wireless. The Netgear Nighthawk XR...
Thanks for your response.
Let me now add some new complexity, to perhaps bring some clarity.
I put a Samsung tablet next to the NUC.
The NUC with an Intel Ethernet Connection I218-V got 768Mbps
With the Samsung tablet with the factory dock Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller I got 319Mbps
Switched the router switch ports, no effect on either
I did not yet switch the Cat7 cables between them.
Switched to a USB to a Ethernet adapter on the tablet and no effect
QOS and VPN are OFF in the router, running newest firmware which is older than I would like.
Router MTU is set to the Max (default) on the router at 1500
Am going to try a SuperSpeed Express Card in the slower laptop to see what that brings. Low expectations here.
Each of these three machines get an ipconfig/release and renew daily via a utility I have. It's an OpSec thing.
Do I need to somehow rebuild TCP/IP on the slow machines? netsh int ip rese?
PS. I envy your fiber.
let me see if I can get a mod to move this to the pro gaming forum where the dumaOS guys are.
they're great at knowing the ins/outs of the XR1000 you use.
Hey plemans thanks for all the help.
Have your tried testing your connection to https://www.measurementlab.net/ and/or https://testmy.net/multithread?
I am curious on how your results compare to mind, which are not good.
Thanks,
Lefty

That would be great, I'd like to see new firmware and a never version of the OS that wasn't so slow. Not to mention SNMP support.
"1.4gig download/50mbps upload from Xfinity"
Riddle me this though. Assuming you have a modem with a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, what router do you have and computer do you have that gives you 1.4Gbps thoughput?
Thanks again for your help,

I have a CM2000 (has a 2.5gig port) running to my RBKE963 which then goes to an 8 port 2.5gig switch, then to 2x custom pc's that one has a 2.5gig port and the other a 2.5/5/10gig port. so plenty of testing. Not at home right now to test those sites you posted.
