Problem mit Wierd Wired
I recently purchased a new home and unfortunately lost my 5/5Gbit connection, now down to just 1/1Gbit. I’ve taken apart my PFSense setup and fine-tuned it for 1/1Gbit speeds. The walls had Cat5E cabling. My ISP router operates in bridge mode, connecting through an UBNT Edgemax 4 router, which then splits into a US-8 with PoE passthrough to a UBNT NANO HD wireless. All wired connections in the house now run at 1Gbit. My server is in the room with fiber, and equipment is properly configured. A Speedtest shows 950/950 Mbit, suggesting the 1Gbit interface card might be handling the load. However, when I test from my main PC using an Intel NIC onboard, I get 400-500Mbit, meaning about half of my download speed is lost. I have a 1000/1000 Mbit link, so it seems the cable itself might be the issue. I’ve tried switching to the ISP router with an AC68 adapter in the Edgemax, and even with a new NIC identical to the server’s, the test results remain inconsistent. The speedtest eventually slows down to around 200Mbit, averaging near 400-500Mbit, indicating possible burst speeds of 1Gbit. The only possibility is the cable quality—maybe it needs replacing. I’ve added two new shielded Cat6 connectors in each end of the cable for further testing, but results remain unchanged.
