XB6 modem is limiting port speeds to 100Mbs

intcountzero
I plan to stick around

I’m new to ignite. Just noticed after setting up my mesh Wi-Fi connected to one of the 2 LAN ports on the XB6, that the XB6 doesn’t allow for more than 100Mbs. My system is capable of 1.7Gbs. Is there any way to raise this from 100 to 1Gbs like I had with my Citron? This seems like an took a huge step backwards with Ignite.

It was the cable. Had not idea. I guess I had something less than a cat5 plugged in. Anyway, issue resolved.

Re: XB6 modem is limiting port speeds to 100Mbs

@intcountzero there are a couple of possibilities:

 

1.  the cable was damaged to the point that it would only support 100 Mb/s; or

 

2.  the cable is a Fast Ethernet cable which only supports 100 Mb/s.  At one time that was fast, but, not by today's standards.
