Thank you. Seems my woes were related to the order of cat 5e wires in the keystones, and not the cables or interference. Once I followed what the keystones required I got 1 GB speed. If I could, yes, shielded would be awesome and future proofed. But 1 GB should be useful for a while.

The Solution to get 1000 mbps was found. The problem was not cabling or interference. The problem was me. To explain: 1. I wired my keystone connectors according to 568b. From left to right on the keystones, I used the correct 568b colors, starting with orange-white, orange, etc. That...

Up is 20 mbps. Down is 400 mbps. Only expecting 1000 mbps inside my network. to all your questions, yes. And to clarify your last question, I get the 1000 when I plug in my laptop to a switch which is connected to any of my wall jacks, each with a keystone connector. The 1000 is just the speed...

Like the song says “you can check out any time you like but you can never leave”. Not good news: The router indicates that just 100 mbps is coming out from the router, including when another unmanaged switch is used at the jack. That means to me that the 1000 mbps is just the speed between the...

Interesting. Experience and a little bit of creativity counts. One question on this remaining topic has come up: Is correct to say that the 1000 mbps seen by the laptop is 1000 mbps through the switch to the router. I hope the speed is not merely 1000 mbps in the short patch cable between the...

Got it. Thanks all for the clear solution and explanations which, in my 5e set-up, was to place a powered unmanaged switch between my devices and the jacks to get the target 1000 mbps.

Ok, when a unmanaged powered switch is put between my jack and device, I get 1000 mbps. Perfect. When there is no unmanaged switch between the same jack and device, I get only 100 mbps. I am merely but quite interested at this point: What is the switch doing to increase the speed to the target...

Correction. When the laptop is connected direct to the JACK, I get only 100 mbps. (Use of the switch between the laptop and the Jack enables 1000 mbps).

Well, I found an unmanaged switch. And your suggestion worked: When a laptop is connected to the jack through the switch, I get the target 1000 mbps. When the laptop is connected direct to the switch, I get only 100 mbps. Well, that solves the issue. Many thanks. Would you know or suggest...

Thank you. Let me know if I understood your interesting idea: Would a unmanaged switch increase the likelihood that 1000 mpbs will be seen by a laptop connected to the unmanaged switch instead of the keystone jack? To test, I do not yet have a unmanaged switch to use, but I tested three...

I was expecting 1000 mbps on my ethernet. Instead, I am at a stable 100 mbps on all 10 jacks (home set-up). Troubleshooting 1. will router give 1000 mbps? - yes (direct) 2. will lap-up execute 1000 mbps when direct connected to the router while the laptop is on battery? - yes 3. are all 4-pairs...

krkaufman - i have one question after reading this very helpful stream again For moca configs that do not require TV cable (just internet) you indicated that I could do a direct-connect of the incoming cable signal to the modem (no 2-way split), and then use a passive MoCA 2.0-compatible 8-way...
