Hello everyone. I just witnessed really strange behavior from my Internet. I just got new router from provider and it works great. But when I play games or download files my download speed will every 30minutes or so drop to 0 and "disconnect" for 30s. And the weirder part is that the upload...

My router is upstairs but my setup is in the basement and the speeds and ping are bad. an ethernet cable is not an option and I was wondering if powerline is a good option. I have heard its better than wifi but worse than standard ethernet, is that true?

Explained:

My ethernet is stuck at 100 mbps, every time I tried to change it to one gbps it says that there is no cable detected. I've tested multiple cables getting the same problem and when I test on other devices I get the full gigabyte per second speed. I am a little lost with what the try next.

I am using a Mi 3C router, and I am trying to forward a port, but it's working at all. I tried multiple ports, but no one is working. I contacted my ISP and asked them about it, and they said they are not even blocking any ports by their end. UPnP is also off. So what's the problem here?

I recently installed a GS324v2 24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch up in our attic that routes out to over 30 different devices across my 2-story house via 10-15 ethernet cables where some of them hook up to a 5-port gigabit ethernet switches (GS305). I installed the switch back on September 3rd...

My router is zyxel AMG1302-T11C. I wanted to test a server on port 5555 so I went to my router's admin panel and added a new rule for port 5555. After I was done, I deleted the rule but I ran a nmap scan just in case and I see that port 5555 is open on my router. Is this dangerous? How can I...
