    Cat5e help

    When you indicated a crimping tool, do you mean a 110 punch down tool that has a cutting edge to it? That looks like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=110+punch+down+tool To me, without seeing a side view of the keystone, I'd say that the...

    Cat5e help

    Do you have keystones at both ends, or keystone at one end and RJ-45 connector at the other?

    Cat5e help

    Have a very close look at the sides of the keystones to ensure that the wires are punched down to the bottom of the receptacles and have a look (end on), at the internal RJ-45 connector wires for any damage to them. (might be time for a magnifying glass) If you have enough cable to play with...

    Cat5e help

    Ethernet cables contain 4 wire pairs. Only two functional wire pairs are required for 100 Mb/s or less. From your description, it sounds like those two cables are connected with two wire pairs, so, counting in any signal losses, you're ending up with 80 Mb/s, end to end. If the other two wire...

    Solved Down speed capped ~100mbps (GT-AC2900)

    That was a very long time ago, fixed with a firmware update at the time. I haven't seen that come up on any of the modems since that time.

    I don't use wifi, which asus router should I buy with at least 1 2.5GB WAN?

    I second L&LD's and Merlin's recommendation. If you're going to buy a router these days, buy one with two or more multi-gig ports. Or as Merlin indicates, buy a small mini PC with multi-gig ports on it and run something like pfsense, opensense, OpenWRT or others. You can buy them as straight...

    Did ASUS Fixed AXE-16000 10Gb Speed issues?

    Have a look at the following post: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33633429- 8 Gb/s up and down. I haven't read thru the reviews, but, just thinking aloud, if you were trying to test a router, up to 10 Gb/s, you would probably need a service that would provide something like 12 Gb/s and...

    Help Choosing New Router

    If your ONT is a NOKIA XS-010X-Q as seen by the product tag on the bottom of the ONT, then it has a single Multi-gig ethernet port. That Multi-gig ethernet port is capable of running 100 Mb/s, 1 Gb/s, 2.5 Gb/s ,5 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s. So, fwiw, you don't necessarily need to restrict yourself to...

    RT-Ax86U PPPOE performance

    Well, if you prefer to not believe what I'm indicating, you can read thru the 160 page megathread that deals with that exact issue: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31118482-Yes-you-CAN-bypass-the-HomeHub-3000 Looks like several people have been using their own router for a good number of...

    RT-Ax86U PPPOE performance

    Nope, that won't work. With the Home Hub 3000, if you wanted to dump the HH3000, you could remove the SFP transceiver module and install in into a fibre/ethernet media converter. Then run ethernet into a router. With the Home Hub 4000 and its wifi 6e successor, the Giga Hub (HH4000 + Wifi...

    RT-Ax86U PPPOE performance

    @snaky69 even if you were to run the modem with a dmz, or in this case a pass thru mode or address, you can't avoid the overhead processing associated with PPPOE. So, its going to be interesting to see what customers think when Bell ramps up the speeds to 5 Gb/s and beyond, which most likely...

    RT-Ax86U PPPOE performance

    Take a read thru the following thread: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33527516-Internet-HomeHub-3000-bypass-disaster And then, if you're really interested, read thru the megathread: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31118482-Yes-you-CAN-bypass-the-HomeHub-3000 There are two problems to...

    Spectrum Gig MOCA issue

    Absolutely agree with what it says .... but, it makes no sense. Why would you design a 1.2 Ghz low pass filter, call it usable for MoCA ops, and cut the performance off at 770 Mhz and above, when ISPs are moving up beyond 1 Ghz for DOCSIS ops? How the filter is designed and intended to be...

    Spectrum Gig MOCA issue

    It all depends on the roll-off. If it starts at 700 Mhz and rolls off significantly from there, then yup, its no good. But, if the end figure is the roll-off at or around 1218 Mhz, then it should be usable. It all depends on that loss figure above 700 Mhz and what that is intended to...

    Spectrum Gig MOCA issue

    Are you still using the 5 to 1002 Mhz MoCA Point of Entry filter. If so, and Spectrum is actually running QAM or OFDM channels up to and including 1218 Mhz, then you're cutting off the upper channels, above 1002 Mhz, by using that particular MoCA POE filter. So, in that case, it won't matter...
