New RAX29 AX2400 working but wired connections are not showing correct download speed
Installed new RAX29 AX2400 and all is working except when I do a speed test using different apps for the wired devices, they all come back barely showing over 100mbps. I pay for 200 from Verizon FIOS...
Think its a Fire Stick issue.
Conneted the USB gigabyte adapter to my laptop and got 300mbps.
I changed out the OTG cable on the Fire Stick with a new one. Still low download speed
Tried two diiferent higher watt power suplies on the Fire Stick. Still low speed reading.
I can only suspect something changed on the Fire Stick that is restricking getting the max speed form the adaper. I now only get about 100 to 150 when I used to get 300.
Yes the Fire Stick is limted to USB 2 specs due to its Micro usb port but still should report speeds up to 480mbps.
Besides the tests I did above, I had access to a TP Link AX3000 and a Verizon G3100.
I hooked up again the Verizon G1100 router and the wired speed test came back as 300mbps.
I then tried it with the AX300 and barely got over 100mbps just like the Netgear.
I then tried the Verizon G3100 and got 300
The AX3000 and Netgear are the only senerios I tested where the reported wired speed tests were low. All the routers showed the the wireless speeds consistantly.
Being I am not having any streaming issues with the AX3000 and Netgear it may be possible that I am getting 300 speed and just these two routers are reporting it incorrectly, but I have no way of telling.
I am going to end this thread until I have a solution to the problem or someone can suggest something I need to look at or change.
Thanks
