Nighthawk R7000 WAN capped at 100MBps in AP mode
Hi, hope someone here can offer some assistance. I have looked through all the similar threads I can find but have been unable to resolve this issue. I have an HFC nbn 250/20 connection set up l...
Thanks for that - I'll give it a try
let me know how it goes
No joy mirroring WAN port to LAN port 1 - functionality is there but it didn't make any difference, still 100MB. Thanks for that tip though - was worth a try.
I also tried connecting to a different (wall) port I have up in this room, also no difference.
Tried both of the above with a different cable, with restarts in between, no difference.
I still need to try connecting directly to the Linksys router with a short cable. Will report back.
So took the R7000 and plugged into the tplink switch directly. Ah voila! 1000M on the WAN port.
A problem somewhere with the cabling from my patch panel to the wall port. All tests ok but won't carry Gigabit traffic. Hmm
I reterminated both ends again just to be sure but no difference. Considering my next steps. I think I have an unused wall port upstairs I can divert (cable in the roofspace) to this problematic one. Bit of a job though. I'll wait 'til a cool day comes around.
Its unfortunate to find when its a cabling issue because its challenging to fix.
Glad to hear it wasn't the router though!
Good luck!
