Hello,

I recently replaced an aging Linksys MR9000 with this AXE7800. To preface, the previous setup was the Linksys MR9000 was downstairs connected to the inbound fiber from my ISP. A 50ft CAT7 cable ran upstairs to an even older Linksys WRT3200ACM. Life was good until the sheer amount of wifi-enabled devices started causing issues, and I figured it was time to upgrade.

Upstairs is where my office/gaming room is, so I need a hardwire up there. As for Wi-Fi devices up there, it's my work laptop and two TVs, but it's still useful to have a Wi-Fi base upstairs.

After getting the AXE7800 setup and getting everything else hooked up and setup, I ran a speed test on my computer upstairs and noticed that it was maxing out at around 96Mbps for both up and down. Which is quite a bit slower than the 1Gbps I get from my ISP. When I checked the setup, I noticed it stated that NAT1 (the line going upstairs) was set to 100Mbps Full Duplex. Both of the older routers are 1Gbps routers and I tried both, and both reported the same 100Mbps Full Duplex in the AXE7800.

With the old setup, I did not have an issue getting full speed upstairs, and the cable is rated up to 2500Mbps. I plan on taking one of the routers downstairs along with the other identical 50ft CAT7 I have, but I thought I would get the ball rolling on here to see if anyone else has run into this issue and had success.
