Yesterday I switched to a new internet tariff with 200Mbps Down / 50 Up. Now I have the problem that only a download of 95 Mbps arrives on my desktop PC, the upload works. The PC is patched with a patch cable to a network socket in the room, from there via installation cable via the memory to a network socket under the router, from there to the switch. As a test, I once connected my laptop with the cable from the PC, the same result. I have already exchanged both patch cables, the one on the router to the and and the one on the PC / laptop to the and, even then they no longer arrive. But if I connect my laptop directly to the router with the patch cable, I get the promised download. Because of this, I assume that something is wrong with the installation cable. Does anyone have another idea? Btw. The patch cables are Cat7 as well as the installation cable.
LANs are usually available with 10Mbit / s, 100Mbit / s in 1Gbit / s in the household.
It is possible that one of the devices involved in LAN cable traffic is only equipped with a 100Mbit / s network interface.
An intermediary hub / switch must also be capable of at least 1GBit / s so that 200Mbit / s are possible over this.
It is also possible that the wiring has been badly done somewhere and there are reflections. Then it can happen that even a GBit network is satisfied with less Mbit / s in order to establish a connection at all.
Badly processed cheap LAN cables or ISDN cables (not shielded) can also cause problems.
Take a look at the switch - maybe it's just a 100Mbit device?
You need a 1 GBit switch…
The switch on the router means that it has 1 GBit for sure
As I said, Cat7 cables are at least Gbit / s. What I still have to add, since I described something unfortunate, is that by switch I meant the one integrated in the router. That something is wrong with the cabling is the only thing that still sounds conclusive to me. Tomorrow I will install a second installation cable in the same way, maybe it will work then. Btw are not cheap LAN cables or ISDN cables
