How to connect to Ethernet?
My new home is hardwired with Cat5e throughout and I am trying to connect the three bases via ethernet because my understanding is that they should be faster when hardwired. I set them up via wifi, but as my modem is in a basement, my mainfloor and upstairs have diminishing speeds. I am currently running gigabit fiber and pulling approx. 800+ when hardwired. When I attempted to simply plug them in with cat5e cables it did not change the speed on my mainfloor and upstairs (approx. 200 and 100ish). I am getting 400+ in my basement standing right near the main deco unit, so I would assume that I should be pulling that from all of my units once they are hardwired. What is my next step? Do I need to use AP mode to hardwire them for the speed boost? No idea what I am doing here. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
