Older router hits 100Mbps, newer model limits to 10Mbps
Hello, your network setup seems to have some issues with speed consistency. The connection from the 1Gbps distributor to the main router works well at 100Mbps, but when switching to the D-link router for the long stretch, it drops to around 10Mbps even with a newer model. This inconsistency suggests a possible problem with the cabling, signal quality, or routing configuration. You might want to check the physical connections, ensure proper power supply, and verify the routing table settings. Let me know if you need help troubleshooting further!
The maximum length for Ethernet cable without a repeater or device is 100 meters. Verify your cable meets Cat5e or higher standards. Confirm the connections are properly made. Avoid running parallel to high voltage lines to prevent interference. If buried, ensure the cable is suitable even when in conduit.
