So I've finally sorted it! I tested rewiring the same port and was having the same problem, I managed to find some ports at a local shop and swapped them over and immediately went up to 500Mbps! It must have been a bad set of ports. I just want to thank everyone for the help with this, I would...

I'll try rewiring my current setup, and then go from there, I'm a bit nervous about doing it incase I make it worse but I'll give it a go. And then if that doesn't work I'll have a look at getting new keystone jack, annoyingly they seem to be quite difficult to get hold of in the UK!

Thanks for the help, I just need to get a punch down tool and then I can give it a go, the thing that's throwing me is that it looks like whoever installed this has put it in according to the colours on the jack, so I'm a bit confused about what I should do differently.

Thanks for the help! I will give it a go and report back. I've just tried with my cable tester and it looks like wires 1 & 8 aren't connected properly.

Good point, do you know where is best to buy things like that (UK)? Looked on Amazon but looks like they only sell the whole plate rather than the ports. Also will I be able to use a cat6 port for Cat5e cables?

Oh okay I wasn't sure, quite new to all of this! How easy it is to rewire? And can I reuse the same port?

I've got a new Amazon eero 6+, it only has one LAN port and it supports 1Gbps and can confirm I get good speeds when plugged directly into it. It's only when going through the ports in the wall that it gets limited to 100Mbps. Looking at the ports they are wired as shown on the port itself...

So I've checked and it is definitely using Cat5e cable, I can see it near the ports next to the router. And in terms of ports there are 4 at the router and then 4 in other rooms of the house so I presumed it was just A to B but I can't figure out why the speeds are so slow so leaning towards...

Thanks for the advice, I've got a very basic cable tester and have found which ports connect to which but not sure what else it can help with https://amzn.eu/d/jiFJ0TKi I've checked the wiring and while its not the nearest it seems to be 568B on both ends. Sorry not sure how to post photos!

I have asked around a couple of places and people seem to think that there might be a hidden switch or panel, but looking around the house I can't seem to find anything!

It looks like they used Cat5e, at least that's what the ports say (I suppose they could've have used Cat5 cable still though). I'm getting the speeds from speed tests and also my router shows me what the max speed is for each cable device when plugged in. Anything going through the ports in the...

Thank you for the help! Do you think it would be worth rewiring 2 of the ports to see if that makes a difference? Also I'm not sure if there is a switch or if it is just straight A to B, I've had a look around my house by I can find any sort of switch anywhere, is there any way to find out? I...

Hello, I've recently moved into a new house (built in 2018) which has built in ethernet ports throughout the house. They were annoying not labelled but I've now figured out what port near my router relates to what port in other rooms. I've recently tried plugging my game console in through...
