Troubleshooting Slow Fiber Speeds Over Ethernet

Learn how to fix the issue of getting only 100 MBit/s instead of the expected 1 GBit/s. This article provides step-by-step solutions to optimize your router settings and improve your internet speed.

Internet bandwidth stuck at 100mbps (FIXED)

The average Internet speed has just recently approached 100Mbps, but even the large, tech-forward state of California only averages about 90Mbps across its millions of people.

I''m using both cables CAT6 and CAT5e and already try to change Wan Port Speed to 1000mbps, but no success. Please help me to get more than 100mbps in that DIR-825 Gigabit router.

1Gb fiber, only getting 100Mb wired. What am I missing?

I have tried using several cables, including two that I had, those which were given to me by the install contractor, and the two that came with the replacement router.
