Network port capped at 100mbp
I've seen countless threads on this here and none have provided an answer. I have an ARIS Surfboard cable modem SB8200 I have the netgear R6080. When I run a speed test the most I can get is 100mbp...
You won't find a way to make it gigabit because its not a gigabit router. Its ports are only 10/100mbps. Not gigabit.
so if you want to hit faster speeds, you need to upgrade to a gigabit router.
Yea that router doesn't have the gigabit ports as was stated in the previous post. I read alot of complaints on that model on amazon reviews for that same reason.

Is that because the Amazon description is wrong or people are dumb and make the wrong choice?
Looking at the UK site, I see it promises "Faster Wi-Fi - Now up to 1000 Mbps (300 + 700) ". That has nothing to do with the wired speeds, and it in any case misleading marketing rubbish.
