RAX120 Ethernet ports max 130Mbps?

Question

I have an issue that I just started experiencing with my RAX120 -- the Ethernet ports will not longer go about 130Mbps when I doing a speedtest through Windows 11. The wireless 5GHz speedtest still goes about 850Mbps on my phone. I have changed cables and looked at my configurations.. nothing has changed. I'm assuming my ports or something could be toast?

Thanks.. you definitely made me double-check. It's Mbps, not MB/s.&nbsp;

One thing to check is if the test is displaying it in MBps (megabytes per second) or mbps (megabits per second).&nbsp;
Because 125 MBps is 1000mbps.&nbsp;
I've seen it displayed with the megabytes before and throw people off thinking their device was running slow when its just how the speedtest is displaying it on certain devices.&nbsp;

have you tried a different wired device?&nbsp;
And/or website and browser?

Yes.. I have two desktop PCs sitting here next to one another.. I've even tried switching Ethernet ports to no avail. Same result. Also tried different browsers, but was still using Speedtest.net. 🤔&nbsp;

What does your statistics show for connected port speeds?&nbsp;

&nbsp;
IF its hitting 130, its negotiating gigabit because it'd max out at 94mbps on the 10/100mbps connection.&nbsp;
Did you try a factory reset?&nbsp;
Are you using qos?&nbsp;
