Re: Improve download speed in basement
when I was on copper coax we had a tech first run a 50ft ethernet cable to a wifi booster from top third floor, down past the middle floor u walk in from the street, and halfway down (1 of 2) flights of stairs to basement. BOOM he put a wifi extender. Plugged ethernet into it. Then ran another 50 footer from that, to my pc. All tight to trim around the house..,,. But if you want you can take a spool to your attic, or a longggg ethernet cable with ends pre attached , drop the 1 end wherre your modem is upstairs down the wall cavity, punch hole in wall and plugin to modem (or proper way is to attach to a ethernet wall box, and then a little cable from said box to modem, but then walk across attic, drop down wall cavity to where you need the other end to be downstairs, punch another hole- boom easy. There is already existing holes in your wall plates where wires run through all over, can just use that to fish down with its really simple and makes the run of ethernet cable way shorter than how we had it to start above7.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: Free bump from Internet 75 to 175?
Here in my neighbourhood in calgary i just got fiber installed. Wasnt told it was ready.. just noticed our "internet 150" on copper/coax was always doing 135 download, 42- upload area MAX for 6-7 yrs, and all of a sudden I was doing upwards 180s download, 70s upload. It was because traffic lifted and went to fiber, booked my apt that day and got it installed the next day! 1500/1500 with a 2.5gbps motherboard with Z490 unify from msi, cat6 550mhz cable only 20 ft long, plugged direct into the 10gbps port at the hub they supplied at my electrical panel area- gets 1056mbps download and only 942 upload.. everything on the computer is configured proper. Modem also. Brand new cat6 550mhz cable.. waiting on my call back.. I get that theres some wiggle room but eh... shouldnt be this bad...6.5KViews0likes0Comments
