Ethernet Speed

[AidanW5]

Hello, 

does anyone know if this hub model is capped at a certain speed when connected with a Ethernet cable?

if not, can you provide the best cable to buy?

@AidanW5  What speed is being reported on your NIC on the device you are using. Use CAT 5e here and have set at 1.0Gbp/s, so would give the NIC a check to see if it is a bottle neck running at 100mbp/s.

The SR203, like almost every current ISP router, has a gigabit ethernet chipset.  Cables above Cat5e make essentially no difference.

If you have Sky Q television there's a known phenomenon where LAN speed can nosedive.

@AidanW5 Just be sure that you have NOT set the hub for FAST Ethernet operation that forces the port to drop to the 100Mb/s speed range, that is very missleading and not what people would expect! No capping off speeds....
