Hi, I understand your situation. You have a Cat6 cable from your downstairs router to your upstairs room, and after two ISP technicians replaced the repeaters, you noticed your speeds consistently reached 90 Mbps on your desktop. When you connected directly to the modem with an Ethernet cable, speeds jumped to 500 Mbps. Over time, you've observed this pattern despite the cable being in good condition and running through your vent. You're wondering if a damaged Ethernet cable could be limiting the internet speed. Thanks for reaching out!
