Is my Internet/WAN input 2.5Gbps or 1Gbps ?
I have a 1.5 Gbps fibre internet connection. But I can't get over 900 Mbps on the speed test in the TP Link Admin Web Portal.
There was one time I did get 1100 Mbps download speed, but since then, I have rebooted the server and the modem, swapped cables to new Cat 8 ones etc.
When I look at the config in the Fibre Modem it says 1222 Mbps on the GUI, but this looks like its a static value, not the actual dynamic speed of the traffic.
It does show the Cat 8 internet cable is plugged into the correct 10Gpbs port. The Tp-link Wifi router then takes that cat 8 LAN cable into the 2.5 Gbps port correctly.
However when I look at the TP Link AX6000 Router Web Portal, I can see the WAN/Internet port says 1000 Mbps - Full Duplex
So is this Internet port showing the current connection speed - or is this also just a label on the GUI ? And should it be showing 2.5 Gbps or 2500 Mbps as thats my supposed to be my connection speed ? Or is this actually the correct current setting - and is my modem only outputting 1000 Mbps (even though it says its higher ? So if I can finally get the correct speed out of the modem will this change to 2.5 Gbps ?
The intenet port negotiation speed on the TP Link web portal is set correctly and explicitly to 2500 Mbps - see below. So is my problem the modem, or the TP Link router ?
