180 out of modem, max of 95 from r6400v2
From my laptop I am getting roughly 180mb down directly out of my cable modem, but when plugged into myr6400v2 behind the modem I get a max internet speed around 95mb. I restored the R6400v2 back to...
I was right, apparently the isp modem can tell what kind of device it is. I got an express vpn subscription and uploaded their firmware for my router. Items in the no VPN group now get roughly 170mb. That's dirty. The tech can say I get full speed from your laptop at the modem must be your network, and just walk right out your house placing the blame on you, when they are throttling by device type.
They are cat 5e, tried a few different cables. Modem sb6190. Going to try and swithc the DNS to cloudflare and see if that does anything.
Try a cat 6 cable.
You can also log into the router and check connections.
