Slow intenernet only in my room (hardwire)

The tplink would probably work fine but I'm not liking the fact that it doesn't have status LEDs. I have that Netgear one in my bag I take to work everyday and it works fine.

Protip, get it from Best Buy (or Amazon) if you can and if it doesn't fix the problem take it back lol.

we pay 100mbps business class.. because of our company, n working from home is a big deal for us. My fathers computer which is hardwired near our mediacom modem. Has a 1750ac tp link. He rn tonight gets 97-112mbps i have a hardwire just like hime 50ft cat5 to my Netgear fs105... that goes to my computer and ps4. I think somethings wrong.. ?

46Mb through a 100Mb port is pretty fair. You don't actually get a 100Mb of bandwidth though a 100 Mb port, as there is quite a bit of overhead lost in framing etc.


A Gb switch to replace that old 10/100 Netgear would probably help.


Would be nice to hear how it worked out for you.

There's way less overhead than with gigabit actually. On 10/100 gear I can typically get 10MB/s sustained locally granted the machine the old card is in can handle it (I don't own anymore 10/100 switches). That 10MB/s would equate to ~80Mb and that's assuming the CPU isn't a bottleneck. (I did these tests on my 98box)
