My ISP upgraded my speeds from 100mbps to 200.

When i tested the LAN speed it would only go up to 100 after the increase. I thought it was the router since I was able to get the 200mbps speed connecting directly through the modem.

Looking into the router I found out its LAN speed were only 10/100 so I thought getting a router with 10/100/1000 would allow me to get the full 200, but I just tested and its still hovering at 100.

Any suggestions?

Im not a networking expert but maybe its autonegotiated a lower speed because reasons. You could try manually setting the speed at 1gb
I dont know how you would do this on your router and i dont know if its even a thing for routers

Is it the ISP router that only has 10/100 capability? And if so, did you replace that router with your own? Or did you connect your own router to that 10/100 router?

If you got the upgraded speed connecting directly to the modem, then there's a good chance it is the router. Although it is unlikely, there's a chance the WAN to LAN throughput is really shitty on both routers. You should be able to do a quick google search to look up what their maximum throughput potential is.

What's the LAN speed of the modem? You can probably check the port speed status of the WAN port on your router.

but this is two routers now

the belkin i had is apparently rated at 10/100 so i bought this new one thats 10/100/1000 and im still only getting around 95mbps when speedtesting the wired connection.

says 10/100/1000 so i guess its a gigabit modem

Is the uplink port of your router at 1000/full duplex?

It's possible that you have a cat5 cable somewhere in the mix, too

It should be somewhere in the router's firmware, possibly on a status page. There's also the possibility that the LEDs on the port are set so that it lights up in a way that indicates 10, 100, or 1000.

Cat5e or cat6 would get you the 1000/full duplex LAN speeds

Maybe you have to wait a month before the increase applies to you're account.

i see slaac but nothing about full duplex

i think theres a device manager setting for the modem that talks about that
