Ethernet VS Wireless

Make sure there are no kinks in the cable or sharp bends, as this can force the system to drop to 100 due to an poor Gb connection.

Then it has Gigabit ethernet

Then it may be the cable I cancelled the cable may reorder it.

It is routed up and around the outside of a door frame but curved around the corners.

Check if the ethernet cable isn't plugged in the routers100mps socket, if that is so, switch it over to 1gb slot.

Thanks Jason I was at work when you replied and it did make me wonder.When i got home i had a closer look at the router sockets. Socket 1 is not labelled ,sockets 2and 3 labelled ethernet, socket 4 is labelled 2.5G.

So i plugged into the first unmarked socket guess what 150MBPS 🍺 cheers,and its not gone back to 100MBPS like in the other socket.Its been over a hour now still at 150MBPS.

Why cant EE label the first socket has well .

Thanks all for your help all sorted.

There are no 100Mpbs sockets on any of the current EE routers...

its the only socket that is unmarked and the only socket im getiing 150MBPS .

Is this what you have on your router.
Key Ports on Modern EE Hubs (Smart Hub 6 Plus/7 Pro):4 x Gigabit Ethernet LAN Ports (Yellow): For connecting devices like smart TVs, gaming consoles, or PC desktops via cable.1 x 2.5 Gbps WAN Port (Red): Used to connect the hub to an Openreach fibre modem.1 x Phone Port: For connecting a landline phone to the digital voice service.1 x USB Port: Typically used for powering EE Smart WiFi Pro or Hybrid Connect devices

I kind of suspect you had it plugged into 100 T base, instead of the 1000 T 🙂

I'll repeat there are no 100Mbps ports on any of EEs current routers!

And I suspect you'd struggle to find them on any contemporary router!

 

[jjbomber]

I cancelled the cable, may reorder it.

I have a curious mind, I got TCXO HiFi Lans switch, I want to connect it in isolation with my Primare streamer, NAS, and ethernet digital player, via fibre noiseless SPF 10G cable.
The optical cable I will daisy chain using another switch box with SPF socket.

I've picked up on other comments outside WHF forums, that this has had a positive outcome to the sound quality.
It's a small outlay and optical connection seems rather cool. 😎

Yes. Audiophiles spout nonsense all over the internet!!!!

 

[michael hoy]

Using optical in that way was suggested by a What hi fi employee long before the forum shut down.
They were a well respected person on here and in Hi Fi magazines.

 

[abacus]

Nope, fibre optic will just allow greater speeds which current Hi-Fi/AV cannot take advantage of.
If you have a bad Ethernet cable then you may loose Gb performance causing it to drop to 100Mb, which if you are streaming multiple 4K streams may be a problem.
As to a change in sound, then unless the equipment you are connecting it to is of very very poor quality, there will be no difference whatsoever, except of course placebo.

Thanks Bill, I always welcome your comments.

The TCXO Lans switch is designed to suppress ethernet noise, has a crystal oscillator, has special filtering.
It may come to fruition, it may not.

I love to tinker and my curiosity has led me to this path. I think there's something in it, we'll see.

I appreciate any improvement in the sound would be a subjective one.

There are two types of people who buy HiFi; those who leave it alone and there are those, who can't stop messing around with it.
I know which of the two I fit in, ha ha ha! 😂

Still, placebo is always free! 😉

Everyone showing off with their 100mpbs+ connections. Here's me slumming it on 70.

As do non audiophiles.

Depends what you mean by non audiophiles, if you mean Hi-Fi/AV enthusiasts then they deal in facts and verifiable evidence, not nonsense.

In some circles.

But, it was just another subjective opinion of someone who worked at a publication that thinks bits of wire and all manner of accessories have magical properties they don't possess at the end of the day.

Just to put this to bed it was the cable that was reducing the speed randomly .I got a new cable and its consistent @ 150mbps .
