Hey, I just got glass fiber internet.

When I connect my laptop with a Lan cable directly to the router I have very fast internet. If I connect my laptop to the RJ45 it seems like its slowed down. It’s still fast, but not as fast as when directly connected to the router.

Any ideas how I can get faster speed through my RJ45’s if I connect my laptop to the RJ45 port?

The problem is I can’t install new ports everywhere in every room and my router is basically in a room where my laundry is. So I won’t be gaming in there, but for now I am… because of how fast it is lol.

Any ideas? No I won’t use WiFi for gaming though lol.

    Every single port, cable, switch and router between your fiber ONT to your laptop has to support that bandwidth. What model is your laptop? What model is your router?

    When you say directly connect to the router, are you physically right next to the router testing the speed? Or are you plugging your laptop into ports installed throughout your home?
