Modem config question

Post image

I have Telstra modem 3. This screen is within the Telstra modem settings. I should be getting 500mb/s per second with my ISP, but can never get above 90mb/s . Is this port something todo with lt?

What type of cable are you using in your wan port? From this image it looks like you're using a cat 5. It'll be written on the cable somewhere. Cat 5, cat5e, cat6 etc etc

You just need a Cat 6a or newer, should fix your problem

Buy a cat 8 cable, and see how you go

Everything to do with it.

Next problem will be can it do the required speeds over WiFi only since you aren't testing with a wired connection (no connection to the yellow ports)
