Also, another option is to download a huge file from a site, and see what speed it's downloading at (for instance, COD:MW update)

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

What's going on with your upload as that is low?

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

Well spotted, thanks very much.

I hadn't noticed there was a series of critical errors
Unicast Maintenance Ranging attempted - No response - Retries exhausted

Also only 1 upstream bonded channel.

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

this is the results with setup
SHub>>NewRouter>Laptop
>> cat 6
> cat 5e

Best ive got, but cabled i should be getting more.

Also its is with the windows speedtest App, the web version would complete but got a download of 70 somthing

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

that is just a minor improvement from this morning and nowhere near what you should be getting; it would be rubbish for 350mbits let alone 500. I didn't think the app would make any difference tbh because we basically did the same thing on your phone earlier which was using a different device and platform. Still good to do though because it is just another thing to tick off the list. When is the tech coming round?

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

Previous post Just checking - is the laptop connected directly to the shub, or via your new router, when you’re doing the speed tests?

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

Laptop connected to new router, new router is connected to VM supper Hub.

The Tec was here on Saturday, he just said it was the Laptop. I'll see what happens on Monday, VM are ment to be coming back to me...don't see this happening

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

If the tech said it was your laptop that was the problem then he must have run a test to validate that.

Looking at your speed test results it does suggest your NIC may be running at half duplex.

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

But I got an up-to-date laptop and got the same results

Didn't even think of that, I've had a look and I'm set to full;)

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

Can you try just using the VM router alone? (Or have you done this, it’s not clear)

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

Yes I've tested with the VM Super Hub in both router and modem mode

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

Just on it's own - no other router involved?

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

Pretty much any lappy you are likely to be using will have a 1Gb capable network port, the cables used are also going to be OK.
Is it possible to try a Linux live system - used to be easy - go to newsagent, but Linux Format and boot DVD but the magazine isn't supplying discs at this time, but you can download and burn to DVD or USB, boot from that and retest. This can remove the O/S as possible cause. You can also check the NIC's settings to see what the laptop thinks it should be configured as. (Others can show how to get same info from Windows).

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

I thought it was the laptop as well but he has tried it on his phone and he gets the same result. I know his phone could do 500mbits if it was available because I have got the same phone and mine reports full speed for me (378mbits) and my router tells me it is connected at 866mbits so if I was on the 500mbit tier I could physically achieve it.

I don't suppose you have got a friend who can bring round a different laptop or tablet who could do run a test?

Re: New WiFi Router and Cat8 cable
 

That was on of the last things I did was to get a friend's laptop and it's was the same I also tried it with my son's Mac book Pro and it was giving the same results.

Think I'll give the Linux boot disk a run and test it 🤞
