Fast Ethernet Puns

The files are not transcoding and are direct playing for Video and Audio.

I have installed OpenSpeedtest and confirmed up and download speeds between the Shield and the Server to be around 970Mbps.

What can I try to fix this annoying issue?

How fast is it? My computer gets 1000 Mbps from the ethernet outlets available, but I think it’s because that’s all my ethernet port supports.

I have Comcast internet and a linksys router. My Ethernet is fast, but my wifi is literally unusable. Currently getting about .6 down and .07 up. Can barely load a google search in under a minute. This is normal and common for me. I’m lucky to get 5mbps up and even standing next to the router it’s still slow. I’m about to blow a fucking gasket here. I use my neighbor’s wife most of the time because it’s better than what my own piece of this router puts out. I powercycled the router and modem and moved it closer and it didn’t fix anything.

Do you guys have any advice? Do I need to get a new router? I’m about ready to take an axe to this fucking thing

Long story short, my wifi kept cutting out so I routed an ethernet cable outside my house, along the wall and to the router downstairs. It's an outdoor, sheilded Cat7 cable crimped to RJ45 outlets on both ends and was working flawlessly at 250mbps. Until one day it stopped working at all. I opened up the RJ45 outlet, and it had snapped (due to tension of looped cable I guess) so i bought a new one and recrimped the wires. Now, I'm getting an ethernet connection again, but it's capped at 90mbps when it should be 250mbps like it was before the incident. My ping is fine at 2ms and my upload is normal at 45mbps. It's just the download that is capped. I recrimped, checked the cables at the router end and pc en; everything. What could be wrong? Wifi is getting the full 250mbps as well.

So, I use a MacBook Pro on the latest software, which, as of now, is macOS Monterey 12.1, and Safari v. 15.2, and I have very good ethernet speeds. This usually happens on ethernet, and I don't recall it happening on wi-fi. My ethernet speeds are:

• Latency - 12 ms
• Down - 93.6
• Up - 94

Every YouTube video that I go to, I always have to change the quality manually back to 1080p, 4K, etc. I was meaning to ask if there is any way to solve this issue! Thanks!

Im only getting 100mbps connection on my homebase 2 via Ethernet even though i have a 1gbs connection Is this a Ethernet issue on my end? Does Homebase 2 only have fast Ethernet? Would it be faster via wifi and does it support wifi 5 or 6?

So my problem is the speed of my internet. If I do a speedtest on my phone it gets to my (promised in package) 150mbits, but on my PC my ethernet (I'm using a powerline adapter) only reaches like 6-11 mbits and the Wi-Fi adapter (idk what one its only 2.4ghz from asus) only reaches 40 mbit at best. I would be grateful for any assistance.

I need to extend fast ethernet from the demarc to my office suite. If I have an unused 25 pair cable in place, can I connect a cat5 keystone on both ends given they are wired to the same pair.

Instead of running a new cat5 run...

Thanks!!

I just upgraded my ISP connection to a gigabit as I was having issues with video conference calls at work. I originally had the Eero Pros (2nd Gen), and they seemed to top out at 550Mbps, so I went ahead and upgraded to Eero 6 Pros (3-pack) in my house so I could take advantage of the speed everywhere.

I've replaced the older Eeros with the new ones. If I plug in via ethernet to the non-gateway Eeros, I get 1Gps speeds on my Macbook Pro or Mac Mini. However, the fastest speeds I can get connecting to those same Eeros via WiFi is around 300-400Mbps, with the average being around 150Mbps. These devices are sitting within a three feet of the router that gets 1Gbps via Ethernet, and I can see in the app that they are connected to the one I'm testing.

Also, with my iPhone, iPads, Fire Tablets, or other Windows Laptops, I can only get above 400 Mpbs if I connect to the gateway Eero and stand within 10 feet. Then I can get 600-750 Mbps, but I can't get that from any of the other Eeros 6 Pros unless I'm connected via Ethernet. Most often I'm seeing 150-250Mps max.

I guess my big question is if this is normal? Does the system only give out a subset of bandwidth to each device? No other devices were using any significant bandwidth, and I do see the throughput on Ethernet so it looks like the Eeros have a good connect with each other and the gateway. Why don't the wifi devices get anywhere close to the ethernet speed?

Recently I'm struggling with a problem on 3 servers running Ubuntu 18.4 and Ubuntu 20.4, apt update, upgrade and install command takes an eternity to finish with downloading speeds ranging from 2B/s to 70kB/s. At first I thought it was an issue with the network itself, but any other download goes for about 5MB/s...

I searched the web and found nothing relevant, in the majority of cases people just recommend using apt-fast for slow Ethernet connections, but that's not my case.

Solved:

I have no idea why but someone on a random website recommended running the below command in cmd.exe.. and after I ran it I was immediately back to 1 Gbps speeds on all websites that can support it. I just had tested the speeds before I ran the command and they were very very slow and then BOOM.

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

Please see my post over in the AMD subreddit.

This involves a T-2 X550 Intel Ethernet 10 GB PCI-E card.

I need someone to take this seriously and try to respond and work with me on this. I have a gig connection and am getting 2-5 Mbps or slower and I am a programmer who has tried EVERYTHING I know to fix the issue with NO luck.

Please help me.

Hi,

I just upgraded my TV to a 4K TV, and tried streaming some 4K content from my server. But it buffers, and I get an error that the connection is not fast enough?

The client device is a Chromecast with Google TV, connected with a USB->Ethernet hub. Ethernet connection to the same network the server is at, which is also ethernet connected. The Chromecast with Google TV has a limit on about 130 Mbit download speed when I tested it. The network is a gigabit network.

The server is a Core i5 4670k with 24GB RAM that runs Debian. Plex Server is running via Docker, running the latest official version.

There should be no issues with either the server performance or the network performance. What could be the issue?

I notice no problems streaming content with Netflix for example.

Thank you!

I do not want my 2 PS3s staying on for too long since I’m overprotective of the longevity of the 2 systems. Also, if I cancel midway (incase the estimate time remaining are too long) will drives get corrupted?

Title is pretty self explanatory, recently acquired a gaming pc and have no access to a wired Ethernet connection in my basement. Wondering what my options are in term of getting the best speed possible given the circumstances

for a few weeks my 5G wifi has been running at like less than 1mbps - I have 1 gbps download speed https://www.speedtest.net/result/11976174652.png

the 2.4ghz network I get like 50mbps which is better but still horrible for a 1gbps connection

but when i use my phone on the same network beside my PC I get 190mbps download

and every time I plug my computer in through ethernet it keeps getting disconnected. It's been plugged in for like a week and it's lighting up but my computer wont even recognize it

Hi,

following [Nick's blog post](https://www.nicksherlock.com/2020/06/installing-macos-big-sur-on-proxmox/) to successfully set up a Big Sur VM, I experience a very slow Internet connection.

I tested network speed between my Mac Book Pro and the Big Sur VM with iperf3:

iperf Done.

1 GB/10s is roughly 1Gigabit I would say. It seems general networking looks fine.

Starting the download of Docker.dmg (576MB) takes several hours from within the VM, but finished under 5 or 10 minutes from the other computer over the same internet connection.

I use the VMware vmxnet3 network device for the VM. I tried the Intel E1000, but this did not work at all.

Do you have any suggestion where to start to dig what's going on here, except doing a tcpdump?

Edit: formatting.

Thanks
