!!TOP!! Download Speed Slow With Ethernet Cable

However, some may argue that shorter cables are better than long ones because data takes less time to reach its destination. After all, a car traveling at 50 MPH across 10 miles will reach its destination before a car traveling at the same speed across 100 miles.

As we mentioned earlier, your home network speed depends on two factors: The Ethernet ports you use and the connected Ethernet cables. They need to complement each other, or else one bottlenecks the other.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) develops and maintains standards that define how devices share data. You may be familiar with the IEEE 802.11 standard family used for Wi-Fi, like 802.11ac or Wireless AC (now Wi-Fi 5). The 802.3 standard family dictates how Ethernet works in a network, like how fast a cable can send data over a set distance.

Like with Wi-Fi, the IEEE has revised the 802.3 standard over the years to support faster speeds. Each revision adds a letter, like 802.3a and 802.3e. Since these specifications dictate different speeds and how to achieve them, the supporting cables are divide into categories.

A wired Ethernet connection is preferred over a wireless Wi-Fi connection for a simple reason: fast internet speeds. Ethernet offers lower latency, a higher data transfer rate, and experiences less interference from nearby objects, thus providing a more reliable connection. However, it can sometimes be slower than a wireless connection.

The speed you get with an Ethernet cable can be significantly diminished if it's damaged or faulty. So, before anything else, take a close look at the Ethernet cable from start to end to see if it has been flattened by furniture, bitten by your pet, or stretched to the point of damage.

Are you using an Ethernet cable that is a couple of decades old? If so, check the cable category. Those of a lower category, like category four, could only transfer data at 16Mbps. It is the maximum speed you can achieve with such a cable, regardless of how fast your Wi-Fi connection is.

Therefore, if you have a Wi-Fi connection with a faster speed than an Ethernet cable can handle, you can expect to have a better wireless connection. You can increase the speed by replacing the cable with a higher category one.

If you notice a significant increase in speed with this switch, one or both ports are faulty. Therefore, you should avoid using them in the future. If this change makes no difference, suggesting ports are intact, move on to the next fix.

Having an Ethernet connection perform poorly than a Wi-Fi connection could be one of the most frustrating experiences. Hopefully, our article will help you figure out what's causing your Ethernet connection to be slow as a tortoise. Additionally, the fixes covered will assist you in speeding it up. If none of the methods work, your ISP should step in to save the day.

A slow Ethernet connection could indicate an issue with your computer, such as malware. Some types of malware use a large number of network resources, effectively stealing bandwidth from the rest of the device. If this is the case, your other programs and network-dependent processes will run much slower as they struggle to compete with the malware.

Had a network tech friend bring his Asus GT AX-11000 to test in my home and we experienced the ethernet throttling the same even with the Asus. He then turned off IPV6 on my NICs properties, rebooted, retested and problem is resolved. I now have full ~920Mbps download on a 1GbE NIC as expected from using either the Asus or the RBK852 simply using IPV4. Circumvention is to turn of IPV6 in NIC properties.

My previous post did not make it for some reason. All of what you mention has been verified and done ad nauseum. Tests with Netgear support were extensive. NICS are Intel, Killer and Realtek. Results on each NIC the same when connected to RBR. Satellite not part of problem. Wifi speeds unaffected Problem is only with the (4) 1GbE LAN ports on RBR850. All NICS test full link speed when directly connected to Netgear CM2000 modem port. All cables confirmed in spec and are recent. No parental controls and Armor was tested with and without and made no difference, RBR Speedtest below and video showing NIC throttling with Speedtest is at _82G_0I3jQ

These cables have all been verified with Netgear support. Netgear CM2000 modem ships with 10GbE CAT6A STP yellow cable. Testing is done ONLY with NIC attached. No other devices active. Very aware of Killer Performance Suite and this is deinstalled on all PC's with Killer NIC's. Have tried different server providers through Ookla, Fast,com, M-lab, Xfinity speed tests. All same results.

I too have this issue. I observed it on Firmware V2.5.2.4. I've since upgraded to V2.7.2.104 and the issue remains. If I speed test my laptop off the CAT6 backhaul ethernet cable going in to my Orbi Satellite, I see transfer rates around 900mbps up and down. Without the ethernet backhaul, I get 400mbps down/ 250mbps up right beside my satellite, but with the backhaul ethernet cable in (and once the device status in the Orbi WebUI indicates the backhaul's in ethernet mode) then I observe around 80mbps down / 80mbps up. Fascinatingly, I noticed that if I plug my RBS50 satellite directly in to my gigabit ethernet switch (as opposed to the switch built in to in to my RBR50), the switch's LEDs indicate that the RBS50 connection is 100Mbit, which is totally reflected by the performace I'm setting.

Ah, it does work! I figure it out. The problem was that something with my ethernet environment was forcing the connection to run at 100Mbit. The Orbi WebUI doesn't indicate if the backhaul's using 100Mbit or 1000Mbit (I wish it did). To get it going I decided to move the backhaul ethernet cable to my Netgear gigabit switch rather than the built-in switch on my main Orbi (which has no ethernet LEDs). My main switche's LEDs indicated that the connection was 100Mbit, not gigabit. I then facetimed myself with my iPad and left it aimed at the switches LEDs. I then giggled the cable on the Orbi satellite and the LED switched to indicate the connection has changed to gigabit. So this tells me I have an intermittent cable problem (pretty sure it's my RJ-45 wall receptacle). This would be why I could connect a laptop to the same ethenet connection used by my Orbi and then test way better speeds. Since my Orbi satellite is up away on a custom shelf the chances the cable will get bumped and drop down to 100Mbit is low, but I'll still look to refine that. Also, I'll just leave my Satellite plugged directly in to my Switch rather than in to the Switch on my main Orbi.

However, when trying to connect the included ethernet cable to my laptop, my laptop says it connects successfully with internet access, but it is so slow that I can not load any pages. I have tried many possible fixes, such as flushing my DNS cache, re-installing my ethernet driver on my computer, restarting the gateway, and disabling my firewall, but nothing has worked so far. Windows network status says that I am connected to the internet.

I recently bought a new TP-Link Archer C6 AC1200 Wireless MU-MIMO Gigabit Router for my new 100 Mbps connection. I'm getting great speed over wifi @ 5GHz mode. But when my PC is connected to the router using ethernet. For some wierd reason my download speed is very slow but my upload speed is alright.

5. What is the length of the Ethernet cable between the C6 and your PC, in other words, what is the distance between them? Is it the same cable when you are testing the speed with your modem directly?

I bought the tp-link AC1200 Archer A5 device today. I have 1000 Mbps connection at home. when I connect my macbook directly to the internet using without router either using wifi or lan cable I get internet speed of arounbd 800 Mbps. But as soon as I introduce the router, the speed is limited to 100Mbps. On the admin console I can see the ethernet speed both incoming and outgoing as 100Mbps.

Currently getting ~ 1mgps upload speed (via 3 different 3rd party testing sites) connected to my ethernet cable. Bypassing my router plugging the same ethernet cable directly into the ONT, I'm getting my expected ~ 850 upload and 850 download. Test the ethernet on a different device and the same issue with slow upload speed.

I used the Ethernet cable connecting from my router to my PC to connect straight to the ONT (bypassing the router). Making my speeds 100% back to normal, suggesting that ethernet cable is fine. I have swapped out the ethernet with a new one connecting from the ONT to the router and the problem persisted.

Thank you, that actually worked. I had the same issue and the Verizon support did not believe me about "upload" speeds. Not sure why but it started recently after having a hard line to the router for a few years. I even went the route to buy a wireless card for my desktop (motherboard did not have one) and saw the speeds were then normal, as well as buy a new Gigabit PCI-e Network Card to ensure it was not a faulty one on my motherboard either. Prior to your fix, I got the same results with the new network card (Zero upload speed). Wish I would have seen this response earlier. It works perfectly now

It can be frustrating if your ethernet is slower than your WiFi because connecting to your ethernet should give you a stronger connection. If you find that you have to deal with this problem, a bit of troubleshooting will help find the cause.

I have a MacBook Pro 2017 running is 10.14.6 and a new Mac Mini 3.2 i7 running is 10.14.6 and both of them work fine with wifi. But when I use an Ethernet cable connection it is slower than the wifi speeds. Super frustrating.

Super slow is tested by ookla. And many other speed tests that are never consistent. But mostly read 100 download. WIFI and upload work fine. Also downloading a document from a site goes very very slowly. e24fc04721
