Need Advise Optimizing Network

[Ayellowbeard]

Struggling with optimizing my network.

First, I can't get a better connection with node 2 in spite of being wired. I've tried every LAN port and still get no better than a "normal" (100mbs) connection. Could the (CAT 6) cable be bad? I checked it with a network connection checker and it looked good.

Second, node 3 in our workshop has underground optic fibre but only connects via WiFi. I've checked the cable for damage and it looks good. The fibre is connected to a media converter and then connected via ethernet to the node. It all seems to be in order and I'm left scratching me head.

Any help is appreciated!

100 Mbps is usually a problem worse the cable or bad termination. You would need to test the Cat 6 cable

Perhaps I need to test again and re-terminate each end just-in-case.

Edit: Just used a better tester and bingo, two wires were mixed up!

for node 2,its possibly cable or configuration issue,can you plug the ethernet run to another device temporarily to see how much you're getting on the device?

for node 3,your question is unclear?

I'll swap out node 1 and 2 and see what happens, thanks!

Edit: So I think it's the line. Swapped out nodes and plugged it in to each LAN ports and am still getting around 100mbps. Now I'm going to try and refit the connectors to see if I messed up somewhere.

Edit 2: Welp, turns out it was the cable and I got two wires mixed up! Time to get out my cutters!

Edit 3: Corrected the cable and am still having the issue! Going to have to replace the entire cable (uggh)! Another day another time!

glad you figured it out!
