There are a few threads about the same subject, so starting a new thread for an update
Using Hub 4 in modem mode with my own router
Hub 4 speed from Ethernet port crashes to 94 meg on 1 gig service.
Reboot or Ethernet cable unplug/re-plug required to restore 945 meg from Hub to router
Since getting an upgrade from 500 with Hub 3 to 1 gig with Hub 4, Ethernet speed out of Hub 4 was crashing to 94 meg every two to three days.
Although I was using a brand new flat cat 7 cable, I thought it was worth swapping to an Enterprise grade cat 8 which I had going spare. (Used the flat type for convenience)
Fingers crossed, had a solid connection for 6 days now, monitoring carefully.
Hope I'm not tempting fate posting 🙂

I’ve found flat Ethernet cables to be useless and will never use Cat7, Cat6a is just as good.

Full speed maintained for 9 days now, looks like the issue is defiantly linked to cheaper ethernet cables.
The same flat one worked fine on my 500 service for nearly 2 years
