I´m really hoping this community have the answer to my problem, as this is the third place I´m seeking help. I even called my ISP, but all to no avail.

I have the following setup:

Netgear CG3000 (From my ISP) - Cabled from LAN to LAN -> Asus RT-AC66U (Setup as an Access Point)

The problem is, that the LAN port on my CG3000 is Orange, meaning the connection is only 100Mbit/s and not 1Gbit/s as it is supposed to be.

All cables have been checked and showing no faults.


A couple of weeks back I did a transfer test. It showed the following:

Synology NAS -> Netgear CG3000 -> Asus RT-AC66U -> Mediacenter = About 11 MB/s

Synology NAS -> Netgear CG3000 -> Mediacenter = About 80 MB/s

Synology NAS -> Asus RT-AC66U -> Mediacenter = About 80 MB/s

Which shows, that independently there is no problems.

However it seems to indicate that there is a communication problem when the Asus RT-AC66U is set up as access point and connected to the Netgear CG3000.

But I can´t for the life of me figure out why or what the problem is.

As far as I remember one of the transfer test that amounted to 80 MB/s was done with the cable I use between the AP and the router. Hence I concluded the cable was fine.

However, I´ll try to borrow a cable from the IT department at work on Monday and give it a go.
