Archer AX1800 10/100Mbps limitation RESOLVED
I could never get any netwrok speeds higher that 100Mbps with the AX1800 router, using my DIY CAT 5e and DIY CAT 6 ethernet cable. Here is what I tried:
- I removed my 70ft CAT 5e network cable fromt he wall and it still failed to give me 1Gbps speeds
- Check FW and HW updates and all was up to date
- Reset the router (no go)
- Setup QOS (still no go)
- I purchased new 100ft CAT 6 network cable and installed new RJ45 connectors and still no go
- I worked with TP Link Support and did not find a solution (I was told my router was passed the 2 year warranty period)
- I tested each wire with my multimeter and they each tested successfully (the cable was fine)
- I tested that each wire of the network cable was firmly connected via the vampire taps in the rj45 connector on each end of the cable
- Purchased another rounter and the problem followed (not the router)
- I worked with a frind of mine and he reminded me how the twisted pair wiring worked and I realized that the way I made the cable prevented me from getting the 1Gbps speeds
- I rewired the network cable using the T-568B standard and BAM!!!!!! the network cable was showing 100Mbps and now using all 8 wires
- Problem solved (for me at least)
- Hope this helps someone else
