Half the speed from modem to router

If you need more details I will post when I get home Friday.

I have xfinity 2 gig using their modem.. Few months old..

Cat 7 cable going from modem to asus at rx 88u pro in the port. Maybe two feet away. Cat 7 from asus to 2.5 ethernet.. Drivers up to date.. Asus firmware up to date. All hard wired...

I know it's not going to be 2 gig but I'm suriped it's only about 850.

I get it depends on server and all that. I wanted to see what spped the cable modem was sending to my router so I did a speed test in qos router. 2345 I thought was pretty good. If it's going in at 2300 and all cables should I be going from 2300 to 800? I've used a bunch of different sites and a bunch of different times... VPN is off...

That seems to be a lot of loss. My real issue is I was getting in the 7s with the one gig plan and basically the same with the two gig plan..if I get the same spped why would I pay more for the 2 gig....

Any comments would be cool.... Just seems to be a waste of money.

I suspect a bad cable.

Cat7 is overkill.

I Just bought two new to replace the two new I bought a few months ago.. Those were 6e.. Based on specs that's all I need... But I figured if I'm going to get a few more just get the 7... It'sike a few bucks.

Check your link speed to make sure it is not a bad cable.

I think you meant 5e.

A lot of the Cat 7 cables are junk...

You would do just fine on a 2 gig connection with Cat 6.

Which modem is it?

If it is XB8 only Port #4 (marked in red) is 2.5 all the others are 1 Gig.
