I'm sure when you connect to etherenet everything will be OK.

Rather than move the Fritz!Box to under the TV there is already a TP-Link LS1005G Gigabit 5-Port switch there so my plan is to use that, hopefully it'll be good enough.

All my wireless and ethernet equipment are connected to my FTTP and are behaving as expected, very happy with everything.

Yes I often use that and it's far better than my VM one but with all the messing around I'm not posting it though like we all did years ago.

I avoid using Fast.com the results are bad which ever internet I use too.

Not sure how to use that when adding a test.

My IP of course!

I didn't think I would take advantage and notice a speed bump from 260Mbit to 900Mbit because I don't use a PC to download from anymore because mostly everything is streamed. However my PS5 Pro connects to the Playstation network at 900Mbit so I now realise how much of a convenience the higher speed will make and can never go back!
