This may sound obvious but as I just had to run some cat7 to get my full 10gig to my nas I thought I would ask.

So I have a 1gig internet connection though spectrum, the cable modem notes that the port is a 2.5 gig port. Would I have any better connection if I connected it to a 2.5 port on my Ubiquity, and used higher cat cables?

Normally you never get your 1gig you pay for, but do you think I might get any more by having the cabling out of it be at 2.5? I normally get 912 Mbps on my speed test, so I know i’m scraping the barrel of what I can improve.

    i did find that i got a more reliable/stable connection plugging my fiber media converter into a 10g port rather than a 1gb port on one of my switches. your mileage may vary but it’s worth a try
