R7000 (Beta) Cant get over 100mbps of WAN speed
So first of, This is regarding Beta hardware for the R7000 "white monster" which i started beta-testing in 2018. And i cant seem to find that original beta-forum even. Thats why i´m posting here. ...
I know it sounds stupid but have you tried changing the cables to the router?
maybe you've got a sketchy ethernet cable. Make sure its cat 5e or better (and good quality)
Also check the device sending the signal. If its only a 10/100mbps, that's all you'll get for link
Its the same cable i´m using for both Router and directly to internet RJ45 port.
as they are in the same place i just remove the router and test, and thats when i get full speed.
and if it was the cable i think the speed would vary more, now its like dead-stuck on 98mbps. like its either software blocked, or hardwared cap.
And then again, this is Beta-hardware, so it might just be this way.
