Cable Length- Modem to router
Good Day,
What is the max length the cable from the modem to the router can be? Reason I ask is I get full speed when using the included cable and 1/2 the speed when I have a modem is the basement and the router on the 1st floor. And that cable from the basement to 1st test good.

Hello dbrine
The max length for a ethernet cable is pretty long at a 100 meters so in your case it shouldn't affect your speed you may just want to check the longer cable in general.
