Download speed problem with MagentaHome XXL

13 days ago

My subscription is Telekom fiber MagentaHome XXL. I expect to have 500 Mbps download. But when I test the speed with Telekom speedtester it never goes beyond 100 Mbps. I am now download something (ubuntu) and download speed is about 10 MB/s.

I am using asus RT-AX59U router.

Could anyone help me?

      It shouldn't be the case, because in the first months that I bought the router, I was checking the speed and It was almost 500 Mbit. I don't know what has happened.

      Hi @Belana M. , actually I realized the problem with Xbox. In other devices, when I check the speed, it is the same.

      Hi @FarshadFalaki,

       

      that shouldn’t be the case. The booked fiber bandwidth should be fully available to you.

      Is everything set up correctly in your router? Are you using a LAN cable that supports 500 Mbit speeds, or did you run the speed test over Wi-Fi?

       

      Best regards,

      Jonas

      Thanks @Jonas W. that test was over WiFi, but I also checked with LAN, it is the same. 

      About router config, when I purchased and made the config, it was working fine and I had almost 500 Mbit. So I didn't check anymore. In recent months I bought a Xbox device and while downloading games I realized the speed is not good, while I have no problem while using youtube or google meet. Probably they don't use that much bandwidth.

      Keep in mind, that this will cost money if the reason for the Problem belongs to your setup.

      Seems to be a broken Ethernet Cable.

      Auto-Negotiation measures your cable quality and decide which Speed to use 10/100/1000/2500/10000 Mbit/s depends on your devices max speed.

      Solution: As other already told you, replace your curent Ethernet cable with at least Cat.6 Ethernet cable.

      If cable replacement didn't work. You maybe check your Router Asus RT-AX59U if it has a power-saving feature for its Ethernet Ports and which cap your Speed to 100 Mbit/s. Please verify your Router Device config for such parameters. Maybe WAN Port Speed could be configured too. I do not know your Router config, but you can consult your routers manual.

      Good luck!
