Speed Capped At 100Mbps—Could Your Crossover Cable Be The Reason?
Speed Capped At 100Mbps—Could Your Crossover Cable Be The Reason?
Hi, your setup is working but you're seeing slower speeds than expected. Using crossover cables might affect performance compared to standard Ethernet connections. The control panel shows 100Mbps, while your NICs are Gigabit, which usually supports higher rates. Check the cable type and ensure proper configuration if you want to maximize throughput.
Which router model are you asking about, and does it support gigabit speeds?
Your connection is restricted due to the low performance of your router.
Alright, I understand. Time to switch things up with a fresh router. Thanks everyone!
Placing everything on a gigabit switch and linking it to your router should also function. The router will mainly slow down your outgoing traffic, which is probably limited by your internet service provider rather than the router itself. That's how I do it! (I'm still planning to build a pfSense router, but budget-wise.)
