I hope I have the right forum for this, apologies if not!
I just moved and setup cable at the new place. I'm using the same router I've had (Linksys e2000) and I'm running into a weird speed issue.
A computer plugged into the router via ethernet is getting download speed on speedtest of 1.5-2.00 Mbps. This is happening on two computers. Anything connected wirelessly is getting the more expected speeds of 16-20Mbps. Upload speeds are good at 18-21Mbps regardless of connection type.
I don't think I've ever experienced a situation where wired down speed was bad, but wireless was good. Was wondering what I could try.
These are the same cables and the same modem we used at our old place without issue.
Any thoughts on what else I can try or change would be much appreciated.
What I've tried:
- I've tried power cycling, and resetting the router to no avail.
- In case of device conflict, I've unplugged both computers (there are two right now connected via ethernet), and I've plugged in just one at a time to see if there's a difference and both will experience it plugged in by themselves or together. I've tried connecting through a Trendnet 8port Gigabit Switch instead of directly through the router on the wired devices to see if that would make a difference and it hasn't.
- I've down the IPRelease/Renew on both computers to no avail either.
edit: I've tested using speedtest.net, speakeasy speedtest, and brighthouse speedtest and gotten consistent results.
