Re: Poor fiber

New sky router installed last week.

Ps5 connected via ethernet cable.

Computer/pc via ethernet cable 

Ran a speed check on both 91.5 ment to be 151. 

On sky app it shows correct speed.. 

Which I don't believe is true as my other device all say the same 91.5

If this is on a pc check and change your ethernet card settings

 

to check what speed your card is currently set to :-

Go to the icon of the taskbar
Locate the icon Internet
Press on network and internet settings
Click on Ethernet
Click change adapter options
Double click on Ethernet. There, you get the speed, it can be 100 mbps or 1Gbps. If it is the second, we do not have to do anything, but if it is the first we have to configure the card

Then If you have a windows pc you can change the card settings as below



In the window where the speed was indicated, you have to click on properties
Check that the option Microsoft network clients is marked, if not, do it
Click on set up
We go to Advanced Options
Search Speed ​​& Duplex
Change the value to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex
Accept

 

Also check the sky hub settings to make sure ethernet is set to gigabit

Should already be gigabit

 

Log onto your router by entering 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of a browser and click on ethernet.

 

Enter 

 

Username     admin

Password       wifi password

 

Make sure ethernet is gigabit and not fast

Sounds like your using ethernet cables that haven't got all 4 pairs wired up. These are often cheap ones bundled with products.
