Number 1 those speeds are never ever guaranteed through wireless. I have Comcasts higher speed package which is like 1.2 gigs, the very best wireless signal I have is like 270 down.

But it's fiber though and I have a dedicated line. On one speed test yesterday I got 7x the speed on my upload vs download. I shouldn't be getting 100Mb, especially when 2GB is making it to the router.

If you're only connecting to the 2.4Ghz channel, then your speeds will be limited to under 500 Mbps. That's all it's capable of.
Do you have the 5Ghz or 6Ghz channels enabled? If so, can you connect to those instead of the 2.4Ghz? Also, how are you testing your download speed?

You should be connected directly to your modem with the cat6 and speedtesting to a location you can verify that's able to handle that much throughput.
When you verify that, focus on your home network at that point. |

The router is connected to the modem directly via CAT 6. I only have one device with an ethernet port and that is my wife's old laptop and there is no way it can handle 2GB speeds. I know my PC can handle 2GB and that's what I have been using via WI-FI.

Is it possible that you just aren't recognizing the port on the laptop? My mom told me her laptop didn't have an ethernet port and I had to point out to her that it did indeed have one and you had to open it up like a little trap door. Can you post up the brand and model number? TIA /edited... re-read the first post |

I don't think I've ever seen a computer that wasn't like a cheap chromebook that didn't have an ethernet port.

You don't have to use the 6Ghz band just as dedicated backhaul. It can be used for both wifi and backhaul. Have you done a speed test when connected to the 5Ghz wifi band?

As far as the OG question I'd buy my own high end router and give them the proper info to set it on my account before I'd let them **** around on my PC
