C7000 will not connect at 1Gbps over Lan
Heyas, I've got a good question...any computer hard wired into the LAN port 1, 2 or 3 of the netgear C7000 modem/router will only connect at 100Mbps, not 1Gbps, and Speedtest.net reports my max speed...
does it happen with all the ports? what is the model/Brand of the ethernet port?
Model C7000 DOCSIS 3.0
Well, I did a factory reset to the modem tonight and all 4 ports connect at 1Gbps per second when I direct connect to the router/modem. So I guess the modem just wanted a refresh.
I did a speedtest on each port to see if there was any difference...
Port 1, connected at 1Gbps - Speedtest 236 Mbps D/L, 22.5 U/L
Port 2, connected at 1Gbps - Speedtest 255 Mbps D/L, 22.8 U/L
Port 3 connected at 1Gbps - Speedtest 266 Mbps D/L, 23.4 U/L
Port 4, connected at 1Gbps - Speedtest 295 Mbps D/L, 24.5 U/L
All good numbers....and when I connect through the 24-port switch connected to port 4 it looks like:
24-port switch connected to Port 4, connected at 1Gbps - Speedtest 320.15 Mbps D/L, 23.85 U/L.
So I'm gonna leave it like that since I'm getting the highest numbers that way....strange tho, I thought directly connected to the modem/router would be faster.
good results.
with SW or vs SW, it may be timing of the test.
