For the last month my network which is normally 1Gs, my office in the house is only getting 100M.
Our ISP is spectrum, which goes from the modem to an eero, which goes to a switch that connects upstairs and downstairs via Ethernet to other switches. Everything upstairs and on the mid level (3 level home) is fine, 1G speed. However, recently the bottom level is only testing at 100mbps. After restarting the office/lower level eero for the first few months of the Issue it would pop back up to 1G, then for the next month it was stuck at 100mbps. Spectrum came out and we tested going directly from the modem/switch and eero and all gave 1G. They believed it was the cord (which is in the walls from when the home was built in 2006 and will be a pain to replace)
I ran a cat7 from the mid level (where the modem/switch and main eero are) to the office and I got 1G. (Ok it must be the cable then, right?!)
However, when I just connected the old line back.. It got 1G again! However.. it only lasts 8- 24h, then drops back to 100mb.. and basically this is where I’m at... when I want 1G I have to run a cable outside my balcony to my office and it will basically trigger the cord in the wall to go to 1G, then I roll up the temporary line until it drops to 100Mbps again.
What could possibly be causing this? Should I replace the line In the walls? (Which would be a pain the ass) even though it seems to be fine if I do the aforementioned work around???
