PureFibre Modem - Networking
When the PureFibre Modem is installed by the technician is only one of the LAN ports activated? I have my own internal Ethernet network and would like to use more than one port on the modem to limit t...
- Was hoping that plugging directly into another of the LAN ports would keep speed up above 900mbOk, I need some clarification here please. If you are indicating that your Wi-Fi speed connection is showing at 100Mbps on a wireless link, this would not be out of the realm of possibilities depending on what protocol it is connecting at.Most Wi-Fi connection speed will be much slower that a hardwired ethernet connection to say a desktop/laptop computer.If you are indicating that a wired connection to a desktop/laptop is down around 100mbps speed, then my assumption would be that device has a 10/100 Network interface in the device, and not a 10/100/1,000 or 1Gbps network interface.If you find this post useful, please give the author a "Solution", or mark as "Kudo", if it solves your problem, thank you very much.
Yes what you describe is how I have my network set up now but the speed has degraded on devices beyond the GB speed switch down to below 100gb. Was hoping that plugging directly into another of the LAN ports would keep speed up above 900mb

Thanks for the reply - my Wifi speeds on the Google Mesh are lightning fast. It is the wired connections that are downstream from the Google Mesh (from the Ethernet passthrough port) that are below 100 Mbps even though I have upgraded all the switches to be 1 Gbps.

If the wireless speeds are fast but the wired are slow, have Cat6 ethernet cables, you've replaced the switches with gigabit, and factory reset all mesh devices, that would be a problem with the Google Mesh then. A quick Google search shows that other users have the same issue with Google Nest / Nest Wifi Pro Mesh. That would be beyond anything Telus could provide support for. You may want to ask on the Google Nest Community forums.
Normally if you had one of the Telus provided routers there, I would have suggested connecting it to the ONT and then the Nest Mesh to one of the LAN ports and re-try the ethernet speeds after rebooting all of the mesh access points. Some Nest Mesh users found that solved their issues.

Additionally if OP is using mesh networking, the speeds will absolutely drop due to the very way that mesh networking operates. Some users have also found that using third party routers with fibre can result in slower wired speeds. No idea why but there are a few past discussions on the forums here about it.
