my wired speed is alot slower than wireless speed?
hey guys I'm having some trouble with figuring out what is going on.
atm I have service provider with 500 mbps plan. and with router connected to usually 6 devices(1 wired ethernet connected to...
Do not use a crossover cable to connect a PC to router. Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables should work fine. Other qestion is, does the PC Ethernet port support 1gig. Older PC may not.
You are right. I checked the 'show statistics' and WAN is at 1000M/full but LAN1 is at 100M/full. there is also WLAN b/g/n at 800M and WLAN a/n/ac at 1733M. Is that something I need to worry about?
I will go ahead and replace both ethernet cables (modem to router, from router to my pc). I noticed that both ethernet cable is cat6?. is there specific cat x cable I should be getting?
EDIT-one of the ethernet cable(the one that goes from my router to my pc) says crossover on the cable but the other one doesn't? is it something I need to check it out as well?
It seems The WLAN rates that you are seeing are normal, it would be the 2 different frequencies (2.4GHz and 5.8GHz). Cat6 is a more stringent cable standard, which supports more throughput. On the leg that negotiating to 100/Full, you could have a damaged, kinked cable, bad connection, poorly routed, etc or possible that your PC just doesnt support 1000Mbps very well. I would go the direction of swapping out the cable and changing the routing if it is in an electrically noisy area.
