I'm getting only 100Mbps over wired connection. The same Windows PC is getting 1.0Gbps at work. Am I missing something?

Check the cable you're using and also that your nic is set to auto negotiate.

Your home connection is probably much slower than your work connection. Talk to your service provider.

I had a similar issue and contacted my ISP. The rep tested the signal strength and told me it was low because I had one of their older cable modems. He upgraded it at no charge and I haven't had any problems since. My cable company is notorious for always upgrading their hardware, but only new customers get it until you complain. Hope this helps.

In my configuration I'm running from a high speed cable modem to a 10/100 Mbps switch then to the ChannelMaster unit. But you pose an interesting question. I know that you can run Gigabit Ethernet over Coax. I do have a Gigabit switch that I can swap out for the 10/100. I will do that and see what speeds I end up with.

Thanks, for the help but one more question...I have done some tests and the highest throughput I got was 12mbps/4.5mbps with a cheap pair of Asoka Pluglink 9650's...Would I see a better improvement, or is this product not worth the money?

Thanks for the post.My speeds have slightly improved since I upgraded my network to gigabit and upgraded my system to quad 64 bit. My router, NICs, switch, and of course the NAS are all gigabit now. Still, I only get up to 10MB/s. Seems faster than what windows reports though. The only thing I didnt upgrade was the cables, from what I was told cables shouldnt make a difference. Thanks for the reply.

The setup that is being used here currently does not use PoE. (was purchased to upgrade/replace an old switch) We have verified that the connections are capable of the 1000MB/S with our farthest workstation showing throughput of 856MB/s to and from the server. Ours was new. (not refurbed) Has been flawless since integration.

I have not experienced this but I use 1.05. Check to see if your LAN speed itself is also fluctuating to isolate the problem.

Just by looking at network status in windows i'm getting 877Mb/s. I don't know how accurate windows is. The router is located about 10m away through 2 walls. I run 9 wireless devices from it, streaming movies to all these devices is not an issue which is why I purchased it. I also have the matching network card connected to my main server which gives me a 5Ghz pipeline.

I usually get 60 -70 MBps . This is much better than a wireless connection. This is an alternative to not having a ethernet connection.

I am having the same problem over a wireless connection, even though speedtest.net reports my wireless connection speed as 15Mbps. Amazon instant video is fine on my Mac over the same wireless network at the same location.

Get a better internet connection and use a Ethernet wired connection to go on-line (no WiFi). Had the exact same issues until I discovered that my standard Time Warner standard internet connection was barely able to keep up with the HD bandwidth requirement and my WiFi signal was only average due to the router being on the other end of the house. This resulted in many frequent video breakups and rebuffering episodes, which was annoying to say the least and discouraged watching online content. Broke down and pulled CAT6 cabling throughout the house, and upgraded Time Warner to Turbo level to get close to 20Mbs vs. the standard 10Mbps. A one time pain, but it makes all the difference in the world. Will never go back to using WiFi again except for basic web surfing on the laptop. Also, using the right router can make or break the difference. I got rid of my Time Warner provided WiFi integrated router to a dedicated Cisco small business router. Huge difference, and can now run gigabit, which far exceeds the requirement of what my Samsung TV & BluRay requires.

In Castle Rock, WA on the I-5 corridor, I just did a test at Speedtest.net and I'm currently getting 2.74Mbps down, and 2.99Mbps up. I would guess this is due to my semi-remote location, and the way that I'm using it (as a shared connection for my entire home network) and not the device itself.

Old post, I know, but I thought I would point this out to anyone reading this in the future.It's important to note that 10/100 Ethernet is 100 Mbps (Megabits per second), which is NOT the same as MB/s (Megabytes per second).That boils down to 10/100 Ethernet being slower than USB 2.0.1 MB = 1024 kB, 1 kB = 1024 bytes, 1 byte = 8 bitsGigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) can be faster than USB 2.0 but it is hard to actually get gigabit, you need a computer that can handle it at that speed, a router that can, the NAS itself, and the cables themselves matter.5 MB/s is still slow for 10/100 though, that's about 42 Mbps.

I would guess it has as much to do with the particular router as this device. USB is generally plug and play.

There are a couple of possible issues. First the switch may be bad but I doubt that given the fact that it works OK. The other issue is do you have anything else taking bandwidth from the incoming connection before it gets to the switch? Finally, there may be something in the computer itself that is drawing bandwidth such as a file transfer that is stealing bandwidth.

Hi Rob - can you elaborate, what kind of syncing issues? How long are your cable runs? Have you checked your cabling?

I had same problem. Wired connection gave me D-60MBPS, U-12MBPS and wireless gave me D-1MBPS, U- 12MBPS.. the internet was very slow. I followed Van Nguyen's advice to change the setup "You need to log into the router and go to the Advanced tab then go to Setup and QoS Setup. Uncheck Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings and apply" and i started getting D-22MBPS, U-12MBPS.. thanks!! hope this helps to others.
