    Hello all, I have an Asus RT-AC86U. I cannot get the router to recognize or use the 200 mbps I am getting from Spectrum.

    Well, I guess you are correct. I finally got the ends on my old piece ( about 75 foot long) of outdoor weatherproof direct burial CAT6 cable. Connected it between the modem and router and it took less than 5 seconds to reconnect my wifi signal. 230 on the router!! My CAT5 took longer than a...

    Hello all, I have an Asus RT-AC86U. I cannot get the router to recognize or use the 200 mbps I am getting from Spectrum.

    OK, what I have done makes no sense to me but here it is. I just moved my router next to my modem and used factory made 6 foot piece of CAT5E. Now I get 200+ at my desktop computer.

    Hello all, I have an Asus RT-AC86U. I cannot get the router to recognize or use the 200 mbps I am getting from Spectrum.

    When I connect my laptop directly to the Spectrum modem I get about 230 mbps. When I connect the modem to the router it is only in the low 90s. All the ports are gigabyte ports but I only get low 90s. All these numbers are hard wired, not wifi. Does anyone know what is holding me back?
