confused as hell what speed i am getting? recently upgraded to 1gbp

so i have a cat 5e cable and the vm is in modem mode

it connects to my ps5 or apple tv - i change whenever im using one as i only have one cable

on apple tv when i do a test if its on server tnp i get 500 mb on razorblue i get 950 mbps ( i dont think i can ever get 1130 unless i get cat 6)

the same ethernet connected to my ps5 gets either 100mb or like 600-800mb i dont know how as uits the same wire as the apple tv

im not really sure what to do? my router is the asus axe16000

if i have to manually choose a server then how do i know what server my ps5 is on when playing

i think its maybe the cat 5e cable?

i did try direct from vm router but then i get bad signal around the house so i put it in modem mode

    As speed is sometimes 100 other times much higher I would replace the cable. Don’t bother getting anything higher than a Cat6. If you want speeds higher than about 950, then your router must have WAN and LAN ports of 2.5G.

    .... and the device ( i.e. PS5 or Apple TV etc or computer ) must also have a 2.5Gb/s port !

    Hey vekete, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear you are having some connection issues with your PS5.

    Did any of the advice here help at all?
