I was expecting 1000 mbps on my ethernet. Instead, I am at a stable 100 mbps on all 10 jacks (home set-up). Troubleshooting
1. will router give 1000 mbps? - yes (direct)
2. will lap-up execute 1000 mbps when direct connected to the router while the laptop is on battery? - yes
3. are all 4-pairs are lighting up when tested at wall jacks as being connected in correct order of 1, 2, 3 to 8? - yes
4. is the cable between router and jack labled as cat 5e? - yes. Does it look like 5e? - yes
5. I am using the same order of wiring at both ends - yes (568B)
I am concluding that the decrease to 100 mbps from 1000 mbps is caused between the router and the wall jacks. The connection is: ASUS router through cat5e cables to keystone connectors at each LAN plug. The length of the cabling is from 50 to up to 150 feet. But again, all 4-pairs light-up as being connected. That's what's driving me nuts.
Causes... ?
Keystone connectors? why?
Cable noise? why? The 100 mbps is stable...
I will appreciate forum expert ideas on: what are a few likely root causes for the speed to drop from 1000 to 100, when all 4-pairs indicate connectivity?
I have a beautiful (aka. stable, fast) MOCA ethernet on coax cable, which is working perfectly. But some rooms do not have cable jacks, but have ethernet jacks. I am interested in having the Cat set-up move to 1000 mbps.
