I recently switched my internet connection from around 10 mb/s to 500, but I’m only seeing about 100 mb/s. I notice that when I plug the cable straight into the wall, it works at 500 mb/s, but not through the router. The router settings are set to 100 mb/s, but I’m unsure if I can adjust that easily. I’ve checked various sources online, but I don’t see clear instructions on how to change this setting. I’d really appreciate it if you could help me resolve this so I can fully enjoy my internet speed.
I’m facing the same problem with my ASUS router (RTAC56U). I’m trying to connect it to a Linksys gigabit router that I’m using as a switch, then linking it into my motherboard via GIgabit. However, I’m only getting 100Mbps, which matches my internet speed. My desktop is set up as a media server, so improving the home network speeds would be helpful. The connection between my ASUS router and the Linksys router is also limited to 100Mbps, and my Linksys router itself supports 100Mbps.
It indicates the port is connecting at 100Mb/s. This seems unrelated to a manual setting—it’s likely auto-speed configured, suggesting a cabling issue or another problem. Try these steps:
- Exchange cables between LAN1 and LAN2
- If LAN1 remains at 100Mb/s, the problem may be router settings or bent/broken pins in LAN1 (check with a flashlight)
- If LAN2 drops to 100Mb/s and LAN1 to 1Gb/s, the issue could be the Ethernet cable or the other end’s connection
