Over the weekend, I had Google Fiber installed.
My setup is:
Google Fiber Box -> TrendNet Gigabit switch -> Cat5e (568C-2) cable -> Cat5e jacks installed in the wall
If I plug directly into the Google Fiber Box, I get 600Mb+. If I plug directly into the switch, I get 400Mb+. But, when I plug into the wall jack (20 to 50 feet runs), I get 92Mb.
One system recognizes the network as 1Gb but my 2nd system says it's a 100Mb network.
I've removed the switch from the equation, all connections are directly from the Fiber Box.
It seems that the culprit has to be the Cat5e between the Fiber Box and Jack Plates, or the actual terminations. This was my first time terminating Cat5e into jacks and crimping plugs.
I used the 'B' straight thru cable orientation (W/Or, Or, W/Gn, Bl, W/Bl, Gn, W/Br, Br).
Any ideas where the issue may be.
