Hello, I just installed the your wifi modem and the speed from wifi is perfect. I have 2 PCs that run via direct ethernet cable but they are logging the speed at MUCH lower. Were they limited somehow? I checked in the router's settings and don't see anything wrong. Please help.

    Hello @Scottyboy

    Thank you for letting us know about this.

    I made the necessary verifications in our tools and your connection appears to be optimal. As you mentioned that the Wi Fi speed is good, I tend to believe that the issue might be related to the Ethernet cable used.

    For example, an older cable can be damaged and can impact your connection by a lot. Also, as it was mentioned by other members, there are other things that can impact your speed, such as outdated drivers or improper settings.

    If you cannot identify what is causing issues I recommend contacting us directly from the support page to receive further assistance. You can do that here: https://fizz.ca/en/support

    Have a good one!

    Your Ethernet is likely slower than Wi-Fi because of an outdated or damaged cable, a slow network adapter, outdated drivers, or improper settings. While a wired connection should typically be faster, these issues can bottleneck your speed, so it's important to check your hardware and software to ensure everything is working at its maximum potential.

    Research the max speed of the Ethernet cable, also if the device are plugged in a switch before the router make sure the switch supports the speed

    Exemple your Internet is 400MB but the switch is 100MB max then all the wired device in the switch will be at 100MB max

    I never knew these issues could arise, that's good to know, thank you! o:)

    They all share the same bandwidth. If one uses too much, others become slow.

    If the wifi use all the internet speed then there no speed left for ethernet.

    That’s now exactly how it works lol
