Gigabit connection
Discussion
Hi all
Just had my internet set up at my new house. It is up to 1Gbs down and up to 100 Mbs up. I was supplied with a Technicolor MediaAccess TG589vac router so connected this to my fibre box.
My wired connection gives me 93Mbs down and 98Mbs up and wireless is half this. I was expecting more!
The inbuilt diagnostics tell me the port connected to the fibre box is connected at 1000Mbs and the port connected to me laptop shows it is connected at 100Mbs.
Is the router pants and I need to upgrade or is there something wrong with my provider.
Also can I use any power plugs with a connection like this so I am "wired" instead of wifi.
Thanks for any help, not to good when it comes to network and internet connections.

Must be the laptop. Didn't even think of that. It is 5 years old and was a standard Samsung one.
The service is quoted as up to 1Gbps down and up to 100Mbps up. A friend on the same connection will down load a full Xbox one game in well under 5 minutes.
Am I crazy then thinking I will get faster wifi speed then. Currently sat up stairs, router is downstairs in a cupboard and speed test on my phone tells me I am a ping of 11, 42.34 Mbps down and 43. Something Mbps up. Wife is currently using wife face timing a mate and son is watching YouTube on Xbox one, all connected via wifi whilst my test was running.

Not crazy, but not giving us enough information. The router is AC, is the phone?
I am generally a tech head but never had to worry about networks or internet as I have been on pants connections. I have come from 6 down and 0.25 up that disconnected more times than it was live, to this so a huge increase! I wouldn't even know what AC is ha ha. Going to do some reading up on it all and go from there.Thanks for all your help guys. Just checked my laptop and it is 10/100 so I have learnt something today.
Could anyone suggest power line adapters that would suit a connection like this that would be feeding a PS4 and Xbox one, it is clear my router can now support 10/100/1000.
