Utilizing two distinct cables for reduced velocity
Utilizing two distinct cables for reduced velocity
Hello. You're experiencing issues with your Ethernet setup after moving to the top floor. The cables you're using are CAT5e, connected via an adapter that's CAT6, but you're only achieving about half of the expected 200Mbps speed—around 100Mbps. This drop could be due to several factors such as signal loss from the window, interference, or improper cabling. To improve performance, consider checking the cable length, ensuring a solid connection at the adapter, and verifying that the wiring meets the required standards.
Verify the performance at 100Mbps and review the network status.
It is. Yet the reason remains unclear. From my side, everything appears normal... It's not the computer itself, but perhaps the connection issue.
Consider using a 10-meter CAT6 cable or at least two 5-meter cables for better coverage.
I will purchase a CAT6 cable and inspect it. It seems there might be minor physical damage, though only one of the cables appears to be quite old. I’m hoping replacing the cable will resolve the problem. Appreciate your assistance. I’ll let you know after receiving the new one.
