Internet Speed is Lower Than it Should be
Hey all I have tried various searches to find an answer for this, called Comcast, Asus, Netgear, had techs out and so far, nothing, but let me tell you what is going on. Last week I had 900mbps d...
Kitsap is correct. You can't go modem---->switch---->router.
It needs to be modem--->router---->switch
I have a switch connected to my RBKE960 to add additional multigig ports because I have a couple device that support multigig. Its after my router and not before.
The CAX80 does have a few reports on here of issues. And there are some issues with it. Thats what people are on the forums for. But not all of them have problems. Mine works fine and doesn't have any issues. I just don't use it because I prefer the CM2000---->RBKE route
(not saying to go that route, just something to keep in mind)
I really wouldn't worry about trying to hit >1gig speeds on 1 device. Most servers aren't even going to max out a 1 gig connection. It mainly just test servers that will hit those speeds.
I didn't even really notice much of a difference in speeds once I got past that 300mbps (ish) mark. By that point, most of my devices were saturating the servers they're connected to.

Solid advice above. There is no need to fall victim of the advertising hype unless you just have money to burn!
