Router Not recognizing full ISP speeds
The ISP has fiber to the house. I have CAT8 from their box directly to the router (50'). when I went from 25mbps to 100mbps. The router did not reconize that change and I had to do a complete fac...
Unless you have QoS configured (which voluntarily limits your speed in favour of better latencies), the router is pretty much out of the loop with your WAN speed (aside from obviously a technical limit of the maximum routing throughput it can cope with). This is usually something your ISP's infrastructure and your modem/ ONT establish as part of the handshake, the router then just throws at it whatever it can (via its internal 1 GBit/s (or faster with highend gear) link ethernet between modem and router).
If you do have QoS configured, you need to do a new speedtest in its configuration page to update the settings to the new line limits.
