Hello!
I have a small network at home, I have two different cables going through the wall from the router to another 2 rooms.
My ISP just connected fiber optic and now I have a new modem and I should have a 300/100 connection. The problem is that I'm getting only 100Mbps link speed through the in-wall cable.
I have tested nearly anything I can think of. I've moved my computer to the router and tested by plugging in directly and it works perfectly fine, I've also tried each cable I have and all of them works at gigabit speed. I've checked the termination jacks at both ends of the wall and they are terminated correctly, all 4 pairs. I bought a cheap cable tester too, everything seems fine. I want to mention that all of my cables are Cat5e.
The only thing I can think of are the in-wall cable or the termination jacks, despite being terminated correctly. The weird thing is that at the other room the situation is the same.
My question is: can it be something else wrong, do I miss something? I think I'm going to change the termination jacks and if it doesn't solve the problem I think the cables are wrong, but I don't think the cables should be wrong.
