Nighthawk R7800 capabilities
Recently upgraded internet from up to 200mbps to 1000mbps, but there is no difference in speed on a Dell Optiplex 5070. Just want to know if the Nighthawk X4S AC2600 (Firmwear version: V1.0.2.92)...
If there are not markings on the cable, would be anyone's guess about that cable kind. I recommend you find and replace the cable to be sure with a CAT6 cable.
Yes the R7800 is capable of handling around 900Mpbs which is what you should see with a ethernet connected PC.
Will replace cable from cable modem to router with high quality CAT6 and go from there with properly ordered instructions provided. Many thanks for your time and expertise.
Another test would be to connect a wired PC directly to the ISP modem and speed test there to ensure your getting to spec speeds there.
When you are doing throughput testing, recommend you download the Ookla stand alone application from the Windows play store. This application takes the web browser application out of the test path.
Your R7800 is fully capable of supporting a 1 Gbps local area network over Ethernet. Real world throughput will run around 920 to 950 Mbps due to hardware efficiency.
