RAX120 Ethernet ports max 130Mbps?
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 g...
One thing to check is if the test is displaying it in MBps (megabytes per second) or mbps (megabits per second).
Because 125 MBps is 1000mbps.
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.
Thanks.. you definitely made me double-check. It's Mbps, not MB/s.
have you tried a different wired device?
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. 🤔
What does your statistics show for connected port speeds?

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