Modem

Alright so I’m completely lost and have no idea what to do. I have a 1000/1000 internet at home that’s always worked great when connected to the modem. My router has for some reason always only given me 100/100 but the modem has been delivering 1000/1000. Around a week ago my Ethernet stopped...

This will sound ridiculous. I have a new build with an asus tuf gaming x570-plus wifi motherboard, whose BIOS I can't update using a CAP file downloaded from the official website ("Is not a proper BIOS" message, and yes I formatted my usb key in FAT32). So I wanted to use the feature that...

The wifi here is dreadful. I'll be here for a while. Could I purchase a co-axial modem (or router, I think I need a modem though right?) and screw the co-axial cord from my cable TV into the modem to get a hard connection or am I stuck with this crappy wifi? Do you think they'd let me get DSL...

Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for your time. I recently upgraded to a 100mps internet package. If I plug an Ethernet cord straight from the modem to my PC, I get around 60mps, which seems fair enough... If I instead plug it into my router, and then to my PC, It drops to 13-14mps...
