Netgear R6400 Slow Wired Speed Issues
Good afternoon folks, I'm new to the forums and new to home networking in general. I tried searching the forums and online for solutions but I got mixed results and I'm not sure how to proceed forwar...
Hello! I have checked my cables and ran them through a speed test and everything came out looking normal except when plugged into the R6400 Router as pictured below. I do not get my full speed.

When I ran the test as pictured below, I get my full internet speed.

I followed your instruction on checking the link speed and it shows 10/100mbps at the WAN Port. I unfortunately do not have another ethernet cable and will have to wait for another cable to arrive to test. What I don't understand is if I'm getting full speed connecting directly to the Modem, my cables should be fine and eliminated as the suspect?
Thank you!
some devices aren't as tolerant as others of sketcy connections. Routers tend to be less tolerant as if they mess up, the whole system messes up. Versus if a laptops connection is sketchy, its only effecting itself.
but it could be the router. That's always a chance. A bent/dirty, or bad port could be causing it. I'm not ruling that out.
