ethernet

My Router ethernet speed is really slow, when I use FAST.com to measure the speed it hovers around 500 kbps or less. But weirdly the upload speed is 40 Mbps. Furthermore when I connect to the Wi-Fi the internet speed is normal as usual. What could be the cause for the slow speed on my ethernet...

Hi I am replacing the rj45 connector on the end of a 100m ethernet cable. Every time I test the cable the tester gives a steady light number 1 and 5, and no other lights. I've even tried wiring into a socket and the same result. Any ideas / solutions welcomed! THANKYOU

Hi, I'm new to the forums and have some questions about a potential new network setup. I live in an area where I can get gigabit internet and I want to plan for how the rest of my current networking has to change to allow for more bandwidth. I know the gigabit internet is available to my house...

Id like to just start off by saying I really don't know a lot about this stuff, I have only read up on it just for a few hours and I'm still really confused. So, I am build a gaming pc (with the help of a friend) and I would love to have a wired connection to my router to reduce lag as much as...
