I got this Fixed. Although Cat 5e cabled are supposed to run at 1gb for some reason this adapter doesnt like them. The cables I have work fine on other switches. I ordered a Cat 6 cable and it went in at 1GB first time. Case closed. Now getting 250mbps vs 100mbps on the bandwith.
Yes I understand about being limited to the WIFI. The ETH interface is only connecting in at 100mbps . Se I am being limited to 100mbps and I have a 250mbps internet connection
the interface on what is showing that?
Did you ensure you're using cat 5e or better cables?
Have you tried different devices?
Yes tried diff devices. All work fine with 1GB except this Netgear device. As mentioned in the original post cat 5e. Interface on a laptop or one of my servers in the link speed.
so you're connecting your laptop to it?
And you tried a different computer?
Have you looked at the ethernet connector on the extender to see if its got a bent/corroded pin?
