creek11 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I've had the R2 for a while now and I did not have any issues until recently where I notice I am only getting about 80 to 100 mbs download speeds. I have on my current provider a plan that allows 1200mbs speeds. In the Device Manager tap on the DumaOS I notice me device is listed at 100Mbits. How do I change that??

It's likely due to the cable being used from the R2 to the modem, could you please change it our for something CAT 5E or greater and see if you still have the same issues?

creek11 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 I’m using a Cat6 cable right now. But it is a 100 foot cable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2021 The cable seems to be the limiter, given it is so long it's possible it's damaged somewhere along the line, are you able to swap it with one of the other cables from port 1 or 3 and see if it switches to 1000Mbits?

creek11 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 I do get 1000mbits with the other cable. If the length is the limiter. Whats my best solution for this. My main modem sits in my living room across the house. My R2 is at the other end where my game room is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2021 It's not necessarily the length of the cable just that it could have been damaged. If possible measure the distance and see if there is a smaller cable that would suit your needs, having extra cable about will increase the chance it could be damaged (in my own experience). You could use a powerline adapter but you will not get as high speeds as if you were just using the cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creek11 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 I honestly don’t know what happen. When I switch the cables to test if the other cables would work I switched back to the original cable and now it’s at 1000mbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm that's really strange, maybe the fibres in the cable are a bit finicky and moving it around sorted it, keep an eye on it as it could happen again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
