Just Use plug in tp links.

Just Use plug in tp links.

they will only be 1G max too I'd assume

1G is fast, how much internal network traffic are you planning on having.?

Just wanting stability for on demand films over the Internet whilst hub is in another area and 2 or more ppl are browing the Internet at the same time

how fast is your actual internet in reality.?
unless you are running a serious server you will never hit anywhere near gigabit speeds internally, never mind externally

3.5 mbps download 17.4mbps upload

I assume that download is a typo,?
And you want a port that is 1000Meg,?
It will make no difference whatsoever to anything you do apart from your internal network if you are moving files across different devices.
It won't stream any better.

Says different amounts and quite wide varience each time I test it to be honest

How are you testing it ?
3.5 is really slow,
Use ookla or supportal test

I can't plug direct into ethernet port on the hub and was gonna try wifi extender with ethernet port hoping will give less drop outs than WiFi alone. Is this totally wrong expectations

 

[steptoe]

Hard wired is always the best solution,
But, you could try a WiFi extender halfway between the hub and your box, how far away is the hub,?

With ookla 4.9 mbps download and 18.1 mbps upload

There is something seriously wrong with those speeds,
Can you even temporarily plug straight into the hub so we can see what the "real" speed is.

 

[damo79]

Only 7m but havent been impressed with WiFi even when in the same room in the paSt for constant reliability

 

[damo79]

I am straight in the hub now and was referring to set up in forthcoming new house where hub has to be in hallway not in living room as I have it now

 

[steptoe]

What modem have you got,?
Can you run a lead to it temp to get a proper speed reading,?
What device and OS are you using to measure the speed,?

 

[steptoe]

I am straight in the hub now and was referring to set up in forthcoming new house where hub has to be in hallway not in living room as I have it now

So plugged in direct is still really slow.?

 

[damo79]

Yeh plugged in direct with them speed test results

 

[steptoe]

Yeh plugged in direct with them speed test results

What are you using to test,?
What device and OS,?
